In my opinion there is no bigger hassle than hooking a weight distributing hitch up. They do make a load drive like it's not there but man what a pain.
I'm not following your logic on the pintle hook. Ive converted my boat and 18' flatbed trailers to pintle and I tow with an F250. I notice no difference in the trailer moving around than with a 2 and 5/16 ball. (Though I was incorrectly told it would rattle my fillings out). What I have noticed is it's way easier than a GN or a Ball to hook up. Just back up and when you hit the trailer square on, it's ready to go.
