Tim, I believe you are right, in that free body diagrams is the only accurate way to look at it. But, I think in the end, the VPP will be the intersection of the side bars of the 4 bar linkage as you diagram above. That pivot point will move as this linkage flexes. Is it correct that two of the bars are effectively rigidly attached to the tow vehicle and the other to the trailer?
