Systems 40 are described for changing the load applied to wheels 18 on different axles A1, A2 of a towing vehicle 10 to minimise the adverse effect on the dynamics and operation of the vehicle 10 created by the pitch moment applied by a hitched trailer 12. The systems 40 include a force generator 42 arranged to apply a force 5 between the vehicle 10 and the trailer 12, and a force transmission coupling 44 arranged to transmit force applied by the force generator 42 for the purpose of changing the load applied to the wheels 18 by the trailer 12. This change is to counter or oppose the change in load produced by hitching of the trailer to the vehicle. The systems 40 are applicable to various types of hitching arrangements 0 including a ball joint type hitch and a four-bar articulated joint.
