Featherlite Model 9407 Single Horse Gooseneck
The Featherlite Model 9407 Single Horse Gooseneck is best-in-class for its all-aluminum construction and light tare weight, which translate to better fuel economy, lower corrosion risk, and strong resale—making it a smart long-term investment for single-horse owners. While it typically carries a premium over more utilitarian models on this list, its reduced upkeep and superior longevity often offset higher upfront cost when compared to heavier steel designs like the Circle J or more feature-centric competitors such as the Merhow.
