5th wheels pull better. They do add more wind resistance as they sit higher than TT.
False... Bumper pull and TV act as two separate masses cutting through the air. 5er and TV act as a single large mass since they are much closer to one another.
This difference is felt in other ways as well. Even with a good WDH, truck and TT seem to be slightly pushing each other around, forwards, backwards, sideways. A fifth wheel rig acts more like a single unit, that is what everyone means by the setup riding better.
