A bumper pull trailer is also called a drag trailer. It hooks up either to the bumper of a vehicle or to a hitch at the rear of a vehicle.
A gooseneck is a trailer with a 5' to a 7'½" upper area in front with a coupler that attaches to a 2 5/16" (usually) ball in the bed of a pickup.
A fifth wheel is like an RV trailer. It has a 5' to 7'½" upper area in front with a king pin that goes into a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of a pickup.
