I see lots of mention on this forum and others regarding WD system, and the average weight at the tongue with a WD system is on average 67% the actual hitch weight, is this true and should I be considering this?
I'm sorry to be a balloon popper but I think you'll be happier not spending huge money to find out your truck can't pull the trailer correctly. If there is a Dodge Forum out there (must be, right?), the information there may give you the best insight to how your truck performs with towed weight.
Good luck finding the right combination.
