Nobody told me a gooseneck is preferred. But when I research the Gen Y hitches on YouTube, it appears the majority of people are going gooseneck. Gen Y makes both types so I don't think it's a marketing ploy.
I do believe some manufacturers will void their warranty and many of the YouTube comments say so. But if I get a new toy hauler and the gooseneck option is preferred, I might be able to talk the dealer into checking with the manufacturer before I take possession.
I ordered a 2023 F450 a little over a month ago. It's a 50/50 chance it gets made during the 2023 model year. I included the Reese hitch Ford sells. But if I decide to go with a gooseneck, there's no reason to pay $1750 for a fifth wheel hitch I don't plan to use.
I do believe the Gen Y hitch is an outstanding product. The design seems solid and I believe Luxe is using it as their standard.
I'm just trying to get educated on something I may not know, before dropping some money.
