Bumper Pull versus Gooseneck for me
Hello, this is my first post. This forum looks like you all have a wealth of information, I'm so glad I found you! I would appreciate your input on my dilemma-I tried to be as specific as possible ...

While some TC can be cramped, the larger ones are quite roomy, but with roomy comes HEAVY. The top end ones can exceed your truck's rated payload capacity by 1000-1500lbs, which in and of itself is not a huge issue. The issue comes when you go to throw ANOTHER 1200lbs of tongue weight from the horse trailer, on a 4' extension. That's an awful lot for your truck to handle. You'll need airbags and helper springs of some sort. Forget offroad because you'll sink like a stone dragging an anchor, being so heavy.
If you consider smaller campers in the 8'-9.5' floor range, you knock off a (literal) ton of weight or more, and you can tow your existing 3-horse trailer with a much shorter extension, or no extension at all! Much more practical.
