Gooseneck was 40' and $20k more and I honestly prefer a TAG trailer. No chance of me destroying the tailgate with that setup vs a gooseneck.

One you go gooseneck, there is no going back. A 40' goose will have a shorter overall length from the nose of the truck to the tail of the trailer and turn a lot tighter than your 34' tag trailer. Probably more likely to bang the trailer or tailgate up trying to cut hard with the tag than the gooseneck too.

I'm with you, but I couldn't see myself paying an extra $20k more for the same trailer with a goose. That's insane money.

If the tow rig ever breaks down having the trailer be bumper pull will make your ordeal a fuckton cheaper and easier.

Yes it is, like they didn't want to sell him a goose kind of money lol.
Enterprise rents trucks with GN provisions if one ever needed it in a pinch. No breakdown with a trailer is ever cheap.

I live in Texas, plenty of room to turn things around without jackknifing(sp) the trailer and the +12" tongue length helps. Plus, only morons make super tight turns with triple axle trailers, goose or tag. Think before you pull into unfamiliar places....
Yup. I know lots of people with reciever hitches, and just about nobody with a GN or 5th wheel hitch.
Exactly. I wasn't paying $20k extra for 6 extra feet and a carpeted cubby hole in the front to sleep in. I think I set up the new trailer pretty comfortably for what it is......
