Bumper pull versus fifth wheel
I pull a 22 ft. bumper pull wt. 3700# with a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 3.6L gas with no problem. Will my PU handle a 24 ft. 5th wheel?

I am not endorsing towing that much with a six cylinder truck but I will say that when my daughter went from a 3 horse bumper pull to a very similar gooseneck horse trailer she said that the gooseneck pulled better. Probably due to being closer to the cab and better protected from the wind. That trailer isn't any taller than the bumper pull though and doesn't have much more tongue weight. It looks like a bumper pull with a longer tongue and a bed over the tongue.
I absolutely would say no to a standup bedroom over the bed of the truck but the right gooseneck could be easier to pull than what you have.
For short trips on level ground you can get away with quite a bit with careful driving habits.
