Gooseneck / fifth wheel have very similar towing characteristics. Both attach to the tow vehicle at the same point, only difference is kingpin or gooseneck ball.
Ball hitch bumper pull and pintle hook have very similar towing characteristics. Both hook to the bumper / hitch on the back of the frame of the towing vehicle. The pintle hook style has more play in it and can be a rougher ride but can be had with much higher weight carrying and trailer weight capabilities. As an example,
THIS ONE is rated for a 90,000 lb trailer (not a typo - 45 tons) Pintle hooks and lunette eyes (the ring on the trailer that goes into the pintle hook) are used in double/triple trailer setups on semi-trucks.
What is it you are looking at?
