Interesting the off the wall post,that says a 5er is harder to hook up:h
... I haul trailers all over the country.........for a "bumper pull".....I E travel trailer.....I have to put in the huge hitch, that I remove so I dont bust a shin,when not towing...then try to match up hitch,and ball, which you cant see,so,many tries to get in right spot,even with spotter....get right height, crank down...power or manual,then wrestle with weight bars, but some also use equalizing/sway bars.....set them for proper hieght,weight,level
Now,when I pull a 5er.....I drop tailgate,....back truck near pin.....set height....back up....pin sets in hitch,crank,lift legs....drive away....(after pull test that is)........Golly,you are right.....that is MUCH harder than a T.T.:S
Dont get me wrong....they still need to try all options,before they buy.:)
