You all rock
Great discussions / comments / etc
I am learning a great deal -- )

SO in Summary:
-Best Option 1: Pull with Gooseneck Hitch ( I agree have one on my F250 FX4 Yr 2006)
-Second Option 2: Pull with Pintle hitch & understand the play issue do all actions to reduce same, if can't install Gooseneck hitch due to truck body + for universal easy hook up Vehicle to Trailer, One would think that the Pintle hitch method has GOT to be easier to connect to trailer versus Ball
-Comment 1: The F450 Yr 2001 Dually purchasing at end of this month has a 14 foot Millenium Truck enclosed box installed & desire to modify same with shelves / organize so have quick access to tools + most important reason is for security / thief prevention - nothing is thief Proof but at present when have my tools on open Gooseneck and go into any hardware facility I am in constant fear that when I return Tools GONE & a considerable revenue lost.
-Comment 2: Anyone have experience with SwitchNGo.com ? This vendor manufactures interchangeable Truck bodies + can purchase one of their universal rails and equipped any Truck body a person may already have & use with SwitchNGo System so that was a very pleasant statement from Sales Rep, most outfits have a Propriety system & force owner to ONLY purchase their truck bodies
-Comment 3: SwitchNGo.com from my limited research has a good product line ( Has both electric + Hydraulic Lift Options ) good selection of truck bodies etc --- but its is out of my price range at present
-Comment 4: So I am full circle back to Pintle trailer being I truly don't desire to remove existing Millenium Enclosed Truck body just to be able to ADD a gooseneck Hitch assembly
-Comment 5: At present thinking seriously about purchasing Pintle Trailer USED of course from one of the Power Utility companies or search for one on Craigs list or EBAY
-Comment 6: Then sell F250 FX4 equipped with CODY Turn over ball hitch + aluminum trailer due to my current economic situation -- must downsize to keep my head above water until the economy recovers
-Respectfully requesting FEEDBACK & additional suggestions alternative ideas
Many thanks AGAIN in Advance
John
