Being a flatlander that hadn't entered my mind. I wanted a bumper pull because they are easier to store. Not too long ago you wanted a gooseneck because the trucks couldn't pull a heavy bumper pull. Now with big trucks and diesels it seems bumper pulls are getting popular again. Wish I had a bumper pull stock trailer and a BIG gooseneck for real hauling. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

In reply to: Hap 's message, "Looks good. Hard to tell it's not brand new, from the picture at least. Bumper pulls are the only way to go in some of the high country. Goosenecks get a guy in a jam up there sometimes,trying to turn those sharp switch backs. I wouldn't mind having one just like it.." on 16:53:19 10/29/07 Mon

I've got a 20 foot gooseneck and don't use it much these days. Somebody's always trying to get me to sell it to them but it's not costing me anything to sit there and once in awhile when I need it, it's priceless. Actually, I don't know of a heck of alot of mountain roads that are too sharp for a gooseneck, but to get in that jam once is enough to make a guy leery of hauling one on unfamiliar mountain roads. What they do is cut the corner instead of following in the pickup tracks like a bumper pull. Otherwise, on a dailey basis, I for sure prefer a gooseneck. (NT) -- Hap, 08:18:22 11/04/07 Sun
