Re: Gooseneck or 5th wheel for a 2/3 car trailer?
As for the amount of room that is used in the bed of your truck. I have a hide away ball for my gooseneck. I can remove the ball and flip it over and have full use of the entire bed of the truck. I am not sure what the 5th wheel hitches offer, but this is the hitch that several experienced racers suggested to me. It is not that big of a deal to hook the truck and trailer together with the gooseneck. Just find a center point on the truck and that is what you are shooting for to get it lined up, to connect.

Most 2-3 car trailers are going to be gooseneck. Most 5th wheels are found on travel trailers. I would get a hidden hitch. 5th wheels are heavy and cumbersome to move if you ever need to use the bed to haul bigger stuff around.

Re: Gooseneck or 5th wheel for a 2/3 car trailer?
Advantage of the fifth wheel arrangement is a easier ride by offering a "soft" attachment to the truck. Either way I'd recommend a B&W hidden hitch which they offer a "companion" hitch for if you decide to go fifth wheel (which are common on big toy haulers and such). I have a B&W companion for sale btw.
B&W is a great company...google them.
