Any gain from WD on a dodge 3500
I just got a 2003 quad cab, long bed with a Cummins and six speed. Waht a truck. My previous TV was an Expedition. The TT is a 34-foot vintage aluminum BOles Aero. WD was essential with the Expy...

The 350-lb restriction has to do with the strength of the hitch receiver, in main. What's the measured TW on your TT? 12% of 7000 is 840. A static measurment, remember, as the dynamics make it a 20' lever going down the road. It is NOT the same as truck payload. On that you might also hit the rear axle/tire limit sooner than you think.
A decent WD hitch (tapered round bar) isn't expensive nor is it hard to set up correctly on a scale. It also provides some anti-sway. The combined rig drives better under all conditions.
It's easier -- and better -- to regard the hitch as part of the TT.
The "best" aftermarket hitch receiver is going to be the TITAN 45299. Full crossmember replacement.
