Question in general to all that are saying a wdh is required.
What is that going to do for the situation in general?
First of all, the receiver will have a max. rating of 500 lbs without a WDH ("weight carrying") and 1250 lbs with ("weight distributing"). You should check your TV's owners manual to see what it says to do. You'll also need a WDH if you're going to use sway control (integral or add-on).
We tow a similar wt./length TT as OP and also with an F250. When I went through the process of dialing in our dual cam WDH, if I didn't restore close to the weight removed from steer axle, it didn't handle well at all. Took me a whole season of fiddling with the WDH before it felt good and it didn't happen until I finally dropped the nose of the trailer a little using a ball with a 1" rise.
When you look around a CG you sure see a lot of TTs either without a WDH that should have or are way off from how they should be adjusted.
