One other point to ponder. Those that don't want a 5th wheel, by all means use the load equalizing hitch, aka...torsion bars. The reason being, the bars are designed to place the tongue weight over the rear axle as opposed to the hitch. That is why you can raise the back of the tow vehicle with the bars.
