I've never pulled a FW, but that is what it looks like in my mind. Once you get used to it, it appears to be easier than a TT.
I learned that as soon as the FW starts to move in the direction you want, start straightening your truck. In other words, follow the trailer in. If you wait the FW will turn way too far by the time your truck is straight.
The nice thing about FW's is that sway is a thing of the past. With my TT I had a good hitch with anti-sway but on windy days or when semi's passed I had many two handed moments that were not fun. With the FW I can relax.
That is a really good deal. I solved about 90% of the big rig suck on my TT with a second friction sway bar. Amazing how much difference the second one made.
I don't think I'll have an issue backing. With a little practice, I think I'll figure it out. I have about 50' driveway and I am able to put the bumper pull on the driveway and all the way to my shop in one try now.
Probably take a little practice, but I anticipate it will be the same with the FW.
I always try to visualize in my mind, reversing the action of pulling out of a drive.
Thanks,
