When you say "bumper hitch", I assume you really mean frame hitch. For the most part, bumper hitches should be avoided. The right catagory frame hitch is another story. The nice thing about frame hitches was that didn't get in the way of the bed for loading like 5th wheels did/do. But are now convertable units that can be removed or flipped out of the way for normal bed usage. A goose neck gives you better weight distribution (especially if you don't have duals) and loads the steering tires hands down over anything off of the rear. I guess that it's your choice, what you can afford, and what your needs are. And while we're at it, a pintle is much stronger pound for pound than any ball. Just my 2 cents, which someone always pokes holes through, including myself. Mark
