My ugly dump trailer was built with a pntle hitch to get the most towing capacity. Despite the slack typical of a pintle, they do have merits, and with a little practice, you will get used to the slack. A lot of people who use them on the highway don't like the bump when you decelerate/accelrate. Spring loaded pintle are available and absorb a lot of the shock. I have one out back but since my pintle trailer hasn't been pulled by anything except my JD2555, it is just a dust collector. They make cushions for the ring, but I don't have any experience with them.
