why is this a good thing? why would one want to locate the application of pin weight to a point behind the rear axle? I see the advantage for short bed trucks, but from a towing perspective, and the reason 5vers tow well, I don't understand why an engineer would locate the pin behind the rear axle, at least on purpose. Is this now an accepted practice?
full disclosure : I haven't pulled a 5ver yet still researching stuff.
