Capacity. Bumper mounts are for very light, I'd never trust it! A frame mount is for heavier (real) trailers with brakes and such. If your looking for something such as towing your bike you want a frame mount

I'd suggest looking for a truck that is already wired for a trailer ( or better yet has the tow package. My GM has the tow package, came with class2 hitch, wiring and has a setting that also changes the trans shift points when in tow mode). Then it's just a matter of buying a brake controller, plugging it in and adding the fuses into the fuse box.
