Default new trailer

might be getint this trailer for free, hooked it up to my bumper temerary just to see if I could pull it and I can, just need to flip my my hitch upside down or get a different one. yes all the waight is on the truck, if I get it I am going to move the axles forward to get rid of some tongue waight off and cut all the top off and make it a flat bed for the car. P.S. yes I know it is a gooseneck hitch, it will also fit a 2 5/16 ball.

I would raise the hitch in the bed about 6-12 inches off of the bed. That would work, or cut the goose neck off and put in a whole new neck at the bottom.
