Same ride per se just way faster to hook and go with the 5th set up. The 5th has a little cusion to it as well that the goose does not. It is able to rock a bit side to side without moving the truck.
You know I have gotten really good at hooking my gooseneck up. If I position myself just right when I am backing up and can see the ball and the hitch and line then up. So all I would have ot do is lower the trailer, hook the chains, and hook up the lights and go. The fastest I have done it was about 3 mins total.
