The best example I can think of is going over a speed bump. The front wheels go over the bump (thump), the rear wheels go over the bump (thump), the trailer goes over the bump (thump). This is hard on equipment and passengers. With the Air Ride Hitch the front wheels go thump, the rear wheels go thump, the trailer goes over the bump and all you notice the trailer gently rise up and down (NO THUMP), in reverse, the trailer did not feel the truck go over the bump either. Imagine eliminating this much of the bumps on a concrete highway with tar strips every few feet. It is a big difference and a vast improvement for all.
If you tow with a light truck or SUV you are probably experiencing problems caused by light or mushy suspension supplied by the manufacturer for a smoother ride. This causes the suspension to wear out quicker and can also make for some very scary moments when doing a quick, emergency evasive maneuver. The “Air Ride” Hitch System eliminates these problems as the airbag is absorbing most of the road shock and vibration you have experienced in the past. As the two units move independently from each other, the trailer tracks better and rough road handling problems are virtually eliminated. There will be a big, big savings on the wear and tear of your suspension also.
Medium Duty Truck owners (International, Freightliner, Ford 450-550). If you are towing with one of the larger trucks you probably have experienced or seen broken welds and other problems like side wall flexing because of the heavy duty suspensions on these rigs (if you haven’t you will eventually, as all the trailers will break up given time, these are expensive repairs). Just to stiff for RV’s to handle. They are great trucks and can still be used without any problems as the Air Ride Hitch eliminates all the above problems. Your trailer has no idea what the truck suspension is doing as it is separated and cushioned from the truck by the airbags. Some trailer manufactures are voiding warranties on their trailers if they are towed with anything heavier than a standard one ton truck.
