I watched a couple of youtube videos on the Revolution. Concerns I have is the weight of the pin is now rear of the axle. Concerned about all that weight being off the axle ? Also you'd need to carry a case of grease with you. I couldn't believe all the grease they slathered all over the thing.
The weight is applied the truck the same as a normal pin box. The difference is that you have just changed the pivot point and created a lever that under some conditions, like heavy cross wind, might induce a little more sway/handling issues. The question is how much more.
We are talking about shorter wheel base trucks to begin with, and they move the pivot point aft.
I drove a couple years ago from Phoenix to Palm Springs with 40 MPH winds all day on the side of the trailer. This setup would cause a bit more work for the driver under those conditions.
