Independent makes really wide TKP trucks, so you can feel the difference by putting them on the same deck and wheels as similarly sized RKP. They feel very different. On TKP the first part of the turn is really fast, and then it becomes harder to make the rest of the turn. This is really good for breaking out into stand up slides, but scary if you're going fast. When I was mucking with them, a buddy who is a much better rider than me but hadn't tried wide TKPs was amazed at how much easier it was to do heelside slides, but we both agreed -- way too scary at speed. For park tricks though, that super fast first pump is a feature. I don't buy that it's about weight or grinding, I'm sure it's the turn. And then there are esoteric designs like double kingpin!
