A gooseneck hitch assembly adapted for use with a towing vehicle comprises a gooseneck hitch and a u-shaped toe. The u-shaped toe has legs straddling sid es of the gooseneck hitch assembly, the legs connected to one or more powered cylinder s mounted to the gooseneck assembly. The u-shaped toe also has an enlarged toe end to reduce the bearing pressuring encountered during a hitching operation. Th e u-shaped toe can include a wear pad mounted to an underside of the toe end t o reduce wear during towing use. A wear pad of the bearing plate assembly can further include a beveled surface to accommodate the change in orientation of a free end of th e toe during the hitching operation.
