[QUOTE="Earthwerks Unlimited, post: 11553, member: 1300"] To me a gooseneck is a PIA. It restricts the use of the bed, especially iif you have carry tools under cover. They're heavier. They're much harder to manuever or negotiate winding or tight roads--or even pull in/out of a driveway--or a gas station to fuel up. I use a 6-ton, drop-axle, bumper tow trailer. It has a usable 20' deck and fold-up spring loaded ramps. I can haul anything I need on it without stacking things. And it''s made of heavy angle and diamond plate so it's relatively lightweight and low slung so you don't get a bucking motion as with a taller deck-over-wheels trailer (which I was going to buy but glad I didn't). The angle iron frame (about 4"x6") provides a great lip to keep things from sliding off the side. It has locking tool storage in the tongue. Over the winter I'm installing a gas-driven air compressor on the tongue just behind the tools storage. Better Built Trailers is in Alabama (205) 489-5129 [/QUOTE]
