VALLEY INDUSTRIES OFFERS NEW UNDER-BED GOOSENECK HITCH SYSTEM (tm) FOR TOWING VERSATILITY AND EASE
Exclusive design allows for full use of vehicle when not in tow

LODI, CA  - For pickup owners who want to quickly convert their trucks from hauling to towing vehicles, and back again, Valley Industries has introduced its new Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch System(tm).
      The Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch, which uses a custom mounting bracket attached under the bed, allows for full use of the truck bed when not towing.  Rated at 6,250 lbs. trailer tongue weight and 25,000 lbs. gross trailer weight, the hitch's trailer ball removes in seconds, requiring no tools to restore the bed to normal, cargo-carrying use.
      
"Convenience and versatility for truck owners is really what this product is all about," said Bryan Fletcher, president, Valley Industries.  "The Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch provides a safe and high-quality alternative to more limiting hitching systems."
      
Safety chain loops are designed to be placed in the lower rib section of the truck bed and feature a spring tension design that keeps the loops against the bed - and not rattling - when the hitch is not being used.  And, the safety loops are positioned away from the ball to prevent any contact with the coupler.
      
For added convenience, Valley's exclusive Twist-To-Lock cable, sealed to prevent rust, can be mounted anywhere within four feet of the locking pin - through the truck bed, wheel well or even the vehicle frame.

The Valley Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch mounting bracket is powdercoated with polyester paint for weather resistance and rust protection, and comes with a five-year limited warranty.
