This system adds lots of wheelbase to the tow vehicle so it should result in better sway control of the whole rig.
Now if it has it's own axle weight rating sticker...
The automatedsafetyhitch.co, web says 6300 lb load and 300000 draw. They show 8 lug wheels which = 7k axle on their delux model dolly.
With a 3/4 ton truck with a 6200 RAWR and a 6000 FAWR plus the 7000k dolly axle braking = 19500 lbs of braking performance.
Now add a triaxle trailers 6k axles = 18000 lb + 19500 = 37500 lbs of braking. No wonder they advertise much better braking performances.
They show a heavy duty model with 10k-11k lb axles for really heavy stuff.
Interesting that the dolly wheel turns as the rig goes around a corner which negates the trailer cutting corners.
