How Much Does a Gooseneck Trailer Cost?
Gooseneck trailers run $9,995 to $18,995, with most standard flatbed goosenecks priced around $13,995.
Gooseneck trailers cost more than bumper-pull trailers of similar length because of their heavier frames and higher weight capacities, which is why the whole category starts near $10,000. Price climbs from there with deck length, axle count, and weight rating.
Price by type
| Type | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Entry flatbed gooseneck | $9,995–$12,000 | Shorter deck lengths and tandem-axle setups for equipment and vehicle hauling. |
| Standard flatbed gooseneck | $12,000–$14,995 | The most common deck length and capacity for hauling skid steers, tractors, and vehicles. |
| Heavy-duty gooseneck | $14,995–$16,995 | Higher GVWR and a reinforced frame for larger equipment or multiple vehicles. |
| Extended-deck/tri-axle gooseneck | $16,995–$18,995 | Longest decks and highest capacity, built for heavy commercial and construction equipment. |
What affects the price
Deck length
Longer decks, needed for larger equipment or multiple vehicles, raise the price within the range.
Axle count and GVWR
Tandem-axle trailers cost less than tri-axle models rated for heavier gross weight.
Deck material
Steel decks are the standard base cost; treated wood decking shows up on mid-tier models.
Ramps and tie-down features
Fold-out ramps, dovetails, and extra D-ring tie-downs add modestly to the total.
Delivery
Delivery is quoted separately at checkout based on distance from the depot.
Bottom line
Most equipment haulers land in the $12,000-$14,995 standard flatbed tier. Only move up to heavy-duty or tri-axle pricing if you're regularly hauling equipment near or above a tandem trailer's weight limit.
Shop Gooseneck TrailersCost FAQs
Why are gooseneck trailers more expensive than bumper-pull trailers?
Gooseneck trailers use heavier frames and hitch directly over the truck bed axle, which improves weight distribution and towing stability but adds material and engineering cost -- starting near $9,995 versus lower starting prices for bumper-pull models.
What's included in the gooseneck trailer price?
The listed price covers the trailer itself -- frame, deck, and axles included. Delivery to your location is quoted separately at checkout.
Do I need a tri-axle gooseneck for a skid steer?
Not usually -- most skid steers and compact tractors fit comfortably within a standard tandem-axle gooseneck's capacity in the $12,000-$14,995 range, with tri-axle models reserved for heavier equipment.
