Hitch Types

Gooseneck hitches are permanently mounted on the bed of a pickup with a large bracket. Goosenecks offer an excellent turning radius and are more stable on the road than bumper hitches. They are more expensive, however, and, pound for pound, require a heavier, more expensive towing vehicle than do bumper hitches.

The bumper hitch attaches to a bumper or frame-mounted receiver on the towing vehicle. If the engine is strong enough and the tow vehicle’s frame is sturdy and made of steel, pickup trucks, larger sports utility vehicles (SUVs), and even “land yacht” types of cars, such as old full-size Cadillacs, can haul trailers with bumper hitches. (If hauling by car, a oneor two-horse trailer is the largest size you’d want to risk. Confirm your vehicle’s towing capacity with a mechanic.)
