- boogie_4wheelExplorerMy trailer is 6k-7k (depending on toys) with more tongue weight than what you've got. I do not use a WD hitch.
- ughExplorerI 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.
- IvylogExplorer IIINo, you need all of the 510 is needed on the rear axle.
- donn0128Explorer IIWD hitch is there to balance or shift part of the load to the front axle. Weights when fully loaded will tell the tale.
- JayGeeExplorerI doubt it. Looks like you are fine. As long as your sway control works.
