The difference is in the pivot point, being fastened to the very rear of truck, vrs being hooked over the axle. It will take a little getting used to!
It takes more movement of the truck, to get the FW to go where needed. The truck FW combo will be shorter, so that will help in tighter spaces.
I like to move ahead and back a little more to get parked, rather than twist the axles hard on FW, or TT. Just eaisier on the rig.
If you can get the 35' TT back there, you can get the FW there too. The easy hookup, and tow handling of the FW, will be worth any extra trouble to get it parked.
