considering most 3/4 ton trucks off the lot have 2.5" receivers, why are we stuck in ancient history?
Most trucks beyond street class arnt using receivers. Mostly chassis integrated hitches

How about having brakes on the trucks that actually stop
That's a nobel idea! Seems like a driveline brake like had in the old wheat trucks would be a good candidate. It would work no matter what the rest of the truck was doing. The only concern would be the drum would have to be balanced pretty well to handle the RPMs of the driveline. I doubt an old C70 ever got near these speeds, but I'm pretty ignorant to the actual speed of the drivelines at these ground speeds while pulling a sled.
Make Drawbars Great Again!
Sad thing is in the ppl general rules it says all classes above 7500lbs must meet the following requirement: Drawbar must be a minimum of 2 square inches total material at any point. This will include are or the pin removed; pin will be 15/16 minimum. Must be a steel draw bar not more then 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 square stock, nor less then 1-1/4by 1-1/4
I was parked next to them at schieds i never looked at there hitch and but talked to them a little about it and what all broke.
I for see some rule changes coming if hitches are breaking like this
