What's the difference between this
and this?
The camper is the same, so that's not it. The deck size on the trailer could easily be the same as well, depending on what size trailer you bought, so that's not it either.
One difference that I haven't heard mentioned yet is tongue weight, and capacity of the trailer. The truck with the camper in the bed requires a hitch extension, which with the truck in the picture drops the towing capacity from 15,000 lbs, to 6,000 lbs, with just a 600 lb tongue weight capacity.
The hitch extension doesn't matter if you are towing a UTV or ATV, but if you are towing a Jeep it does matter. It might be a challenge to find a quality trailer and a built Jeep that have a combined weight of less than 6000 lbs.
The gooseneck option may be the only option for people who already have a truck and camper, and want to also tow a Jeep.
