Oh Yeah! I forgot. Everyone knows that pintle hitches are unsuitable for heavy loads.

I can see a goose-neck coming in real handy here. 29k isn't really much weight in the grand scheme of heavy loads on the road.
This isn't a fight you can win JH. You are making poor arguments that make no real sense, and your anger at me is clouding your judgment.
Please just give it a rest.
If lunette hitches were superior every 18 wheeler on the road would use one. So would heavy equipment haulers, but they don’t. They use detachable 5th wheels. Dump trucks use a lunette because they can’t use a 5th wheel or GN inside a body 5-6 ft off the ground and there are no ball hitches to handle 20 tons or more. If there were, the’ed use them because a ball removes 99% of the slop in the ring to pintle joint, and allows for zero vertical slop, thus improving the ride tremendously . Now, how much room for cordwood have I lost with that 5 inch diameter receiver? 29k for a 1 ton pickup and trailer borders on max legal load. I mention that because it’s obvious you don’t know.
And I’m waiting for your ID, in case you’ve forgotten.
Ps. 4 brakes of 3-1/4 x12 provide more braking ability than 6 of 2x12. I guess among the many things you pontificate upon without actual knowledge is the fact that heavier axles use larger brakes. 10K axles are also available in single wheel versions not just duals, and dual wheel axles aren’t any wider than low pro single.
But please, by all means keep on typing. Nothing pleases me more than showing the members here what an ignorant, arrogant, ass their new moderator is.
