Now we all know that is not true. We all like "removing some of the load from the tow vehicle's rear axle and distributing it to the tow vehicles front axle and the trailer's axle(s)"
Did you forget that none of us liked "distributes tongue weight"...
I don't think "we all" and "none of us" applies here because I don't agree with those statements. The definition I proposed was more detailed, but in no way meant that I didn't like or agree with "distributes tongue weight".
I believe it's the exception rather than the rule that someone would interpret "
distributes tongue weight" to mean "
removes tongue weight".
Look - I just don't see what's wrong with using the phrase "distributes tongue weight". What other weight IS there that needs to be held off the ground when you hook up a trailer? (Unless the cargo is shifting around) No, any other "weights" - as you might call them - coming into play are
forces generated by the WD system. That's all there is.
Despite what you or anyone else says, I believe "distributes" is the best word to use without getting into the HOW. Since all the manufacturer's succinct descriptions use that word, they must agree with me. I favor going with Batmovan on this one.
The only reason I can see for coming up with the more lengthy description is for those who conclude that "distributes" means "removes". If you need that, I won't stand in your way, but I'd like the record to show that I prefer the description the manufacturers use.
