I would guess the factory receiver would be subject to 1/3 of the trailer weight in a 3 point connection system?
If it were a 3-point connection system with weight bearing properties, you would be correct. However, the other 2 connection points of this system aren't built to handle any loads other than the lateral forces exerted in a turn.
I'll further note that my understanding the design of this system is based purely on the information given on their website. If the other connection points are meant for load bearing, I don't see any mention of it on the site.
I should have said 1/3 of the drawbar pull not trailer weight. The design appears to transfer very little weight to the tow vehicle.
