Unless you have an aftermarket receiver on your truck that can handle all of the tongue weight, you need weight distribution engaged so you do not overload your hitching system. Look on your receiver to see your weight carrying verses distributed carrying capacities. Expect toy haulers to have 15-20% of their GVWR on the tongue even when empty - This is why it is important to get actual weights instead of guessing how much.
