Many years ago I had some advice from an oldtimer. When you pull each through the snow, look at your tire ruts. Bumper pull will closely follow the tow vehicle's rut while a 5th wheel/gooseneck will cut it's own path. This is what you have to bear in mind when turning or backing.
This is completely dependent on trailer length and track width. Not bumper pull vs goose neck. Your old timer just made that up and started stating it as fact because it's sounded good in his head.
Not a great place to stand when dumping.. was dumping one time, standing beside my unit and when load let go it pushed my truck violently 10 feet forward... after that I ordered a remote and sat in the drivers seat while dumping..
Yeah if I only had my old f150 I definitely wouldn’t be sanding there but the F450 with ebrake is money for this kind of work. I have one of these trailers way overloaded(off road only) and it dumped just fine and the trailer barely moved the truck as the load shifted. Good point though.
How do you lose 500 pounds of capacity with the gooseneck? The gooseneck can have more weight on the hitch than the bumper pull any day. Especially with the 450.
I’ll stick to a bumper pull for two reasons. 1= it’s much easier to maneuver for the type of work I do. 2= I only have a f-150😂 If I were in the long distance delivery business it would be a no brainer. How are them fuel prices treating you bro for that 450?
Need a 34 foot deck over I had a GN and turning seemed to always need to go super wide. With the number pool seems easier but I have a 20ft so hard to compare. Wanna pull fiberglass pool shells
I want to buy a 16ft dump still can't decide bumper or goose. I own a 2015 F150, 2012 F250 and 2012 3500HD Dually. The trailer I saw at 11k cost more than what I paid for all my 3 trucks combined lol. I just want to do hobby ranch stuff to move dirt, maybe help people take junk to landfill. I want to build a pond so want to move material across 8 acres and to my vacant lots.
I have bumper pulls and a 24' deckover goose neck. I find it way easier to back up a gooseneck. Also rides way better.

Another reason to get the bumper pull! 👏🏻

@@mp-xt2rgdon’t think an old timer gave him this advice because it’s just plain stupid.
It really doesn’t take that long to unhook lol. Also so much easier to back up than a bumper pull.

Goosenecks are much easier to backup and maneuver.
Gooseneck far exceeds bumper pull in every way.

Do you have a CDL or class A? If not how do you get away with towing over 26000 gcwr?
Your driver’s side headlight is not working. Great video! Thank You!
It has since been fixed. Thanks
Good video, thanks 😊
What's the length of your trailer?
Gooseneck is 16ft, bumper pull is 14ft
