You say that in defense of the traditional hitch, but that's the absolute principal behind the design strength of the AUH. It too uses triangles.

And uses them poorly IMO.
The pin/ball holder should extend vertically down to the base with additional support to the frame at the corners.

Right now it is too easy to twist the top of the pyramid in dynamic front/rear or side/side loading. I don't think the connection to the truck gooseneck ball provides the stiffening that is needed.

Maybe you should share your ideas with Andersen.........

Andersen has the tools. Instead of just the top loading test shown in the video... Andersen needs a similar side load test. Easy to see what is going to bend.
