This topic has been discussed several time. do a search on "goose neck". The main problem is the extra bending torque placed on the front of the trailer due to the long lever arm of the goose neck hitch. These extra strains can be 3 or 3 and 1/2 times the strain of a regular hitch pin. The upside is a great reduction in "chucking" as the goose neck hitch point is so much closer to the rear axle compared to a conventional fifth wheel

BTW. my hitch comes completely out leaving no in bed rails.
