I pulled a 1550 Oliver (with loaded tires) on my 20 foot gooseneck (plus 3 foot beavertail) using my F250 with 351 gas engine before I got my 1 ton F350 dually. It pulled fine but I made sure I had plenty of room to stop. I am in Iowa too and I found out when I licensed my dually that since I pull a gooseneck, any weight trnasferred to the pickup from the hitch, with a gooseneck or fifth wheel trailer, is considered part of the weight of the pickup for licensing purposes. If it is a bumper-pull they don't consider the weight transfer as vehicle weight. So, they recommeneded I license the pickup for 5-ton as the extra $ in fees each year is WAY less than getting caught 1 time for being overweight. I would also never pull a bumper hitch again if I didn't have to, you'll figure that out after you pull a gooseneck, park it, squeeze it into tight places, etc... As far as the fenders, I have had both types, but prefer the wheel being completely under the trailer leaving a flat deck. This is especially handy hauling big hay baels or things that are extra wide (tractors included) that may otherwise have to sit on the raised fenders. It is also hard to put pallets of material (seed corn, etc...) on if the fenders are in the way.
