Need to point out one comment....
BUMPER PULL: Correct on turning but your REALLY limited on what you can haul cause you bumper is taking all the weight.
Not so fast there! Even though it is still considered "bumper Pull" a 2" square receiver will still take up to 10,000 pounds, with the trailer carrying the weight. I may be off a little without checking, but I can haul that McCormick Deering T-20 crawler and McCormick Deering 15-30 "seperatly of course" which both weight close to 7000 pounds. Yes a standard bumper can only carry a small load, but a good hitch attached to the frame changes all that.
For the long hauls, a gooseneck is smooth and easy on the cargo "horses". But when a homeowner states "the truck is in a tight spot" and doesn't want his yard ripped up, a bumper pull is the way to go.
Just a thought.
