I think I would disagree with this statement. There is nothing, in principle, different about the two set-ups when hitching up to one vs the other. It's a small blind target, ball to trailer hitch or truck hitch to hole. The pintle actually has the extra element of the
latching retainer that may or may not restrict how high the trailer can be raised prior to backing in, the ball hitch has no such restriction. I have an alignment tool that looks like a couple of tennis balls mounted on car antennas with a magnetic bases that make lining up with my trailer a breeze. They probably wouldn't help with a box bed though.
