I have to ask what's the point of a flat bed truck? You can't put anything in it and you don't need a flat bed to tow a gooseneck.

Thats for a gooseneck.
I'd love something like that to tow my 47' toyhauler.
Probably hold out for a Freightliner though

Gooseneck trailers have the unfortunate habit of hitting a normal truck bed. The ball allows the trailer to tilt side to side in relation to the truck, unlike a 5th wheel. When you pull into a driveway on a slope, the trailer ends up crunching the walls of your truck bed. Ask me how I know.
