I had the same discussion about my 3/4 ton truck and the trailer weighted at 6,500 pounds empty. Most members said I did not need it. However, I negotiated with the dealer to include one for free. I towed both ways and I noticed no difference. Sway controller will be a benefit though.
Not necessary for 3/4 ton truck. Tongue weight would be about 650 pounds and 3/4 ton truck tends to have much higher payload than 1/2 trucks or SUV.
