Don't pay extra for the RotoFlex pin box because you will have to lock out its function when using with an Andersen hitch. If you want the chucking control of that pin box, you will have to use it with a conventional hitch.
In my post regarding the broken rear window, the man's trailer was similar to yours in that the front cap tapered forward. His situation involved a tight backing scenario combined with a driveway. When the truck tires hit the driveway dip, the trailer leaned forward, busted the window, and dented the cab near the roof. Not a typical scenario, but many of us have backed tight on uneven terrain. I did witness the bites his pin box took out of the inside of his tailgate. His truck was a beautiful high end model (Platinum if I recall). He was not happy at all.
So, with the adapter in one position, his pin box was impacting his truck. Switch the adapter and out goes the window.
Let me ask again, was there a reason he just didn't clip the corners of the pin box. Its usually pretty obvious , and does not hurt to do it .
As far as the front cap , they are all pretty much that way, with the corners rounded off .
