The "V" in the 5th wheel hitch plate does the same thing helping center the kingpin into the jaws. Both designs allow for a little mis alignment, not as much with the Andersen.
That was my conclusion too. With the Anderson it looks as though you have to be more spot on. I wonder if it cures chucking issues like the Anderson does.
Maybe the chucking issue is moved to bed flex to smooth it out. How else could it cure the issue?
It eliminates the slop of the fifth wheel hitch. My Reese had jaw slop that made a noise when I stopped or started. Then there is the head articulation and is necessary but can contribute to chucking. The Andersen doesn't have that bobble head design.
