It sounds like you are looking to pull larger/heavier loads or you would not be looking at a 14K trailer. Assuming that is the case, you are not going to want to pull that kind of weight on the bumper even if you could. However, if you would have said you only pull small loads (like myself), I know I am not justified in spending the extra $$ to buy a gooseneck, even though there have been times I could have used the extra capacity. Also, it means in order to pull the heavier loads you are pretty much tied to a larger (3/4 or 1 T) pickup (more cost). Honestly, I use a small 8" tilt bed trailer more than my 16 ft. bumper hitch, however I rarely hit the highway with either, and in fact I do not even license either. I figure I can pay the failure to register fine and still come out ahead. Just my 2 cents though. Given a choice of pulling 5000 lbs or more on either, I would probably choose the gooseneck, but you are paying for that extra capacity whether you need it or not.
