5'er VS G-Neck???
I now have a 37' 5er and love the way it pulls. I am however in tha market for a closed trailer to work out of. I have never pulled a goose neck and was wondering what diferances would be?

For an enclosed utility trailer, you really can't beat the gooseneck. It has a higher degree of articulation so you don't have to worry about damaging the top bed rails when you go over unlevel ground. If you choose the foldaway or turnover style ball, the bed is left open when you don't need the hitch (and it only takes 5 seconds to access the hitch).
I prefer the gooseneck style, and would recommend it over a fifth-wheel hitch any day!

JC Whitney sells a 5th wheel hitch that mounts on rails in the bed that can also be used to mount a removeable gooeseneck hitch. Pull a couple pins, pull out the fifth wheel hitch, pop in the ball for the goosenck, and you'd be set for either trailer.

I have both on my truck and like both just the same. Easier to hook up the fith wheel though. Check out my gallery I have a picture of a pop-up goosneck hitch. It is great. stays out of the way and I didn't have to cut a huge hole in my bed like some of them are. Just a 3" hole in the bed. Took me a couple hours by my self to do.
