I have a '13 Ford F150 "heavy half" I am having some issues when i tow and someone told me I should get a WD hitch. My question is, at what weight with a stock half ton do you need to think abou...

You don't even need trailer brakes in my state, PA, at under 3K#!
Need a WDH? Depends on the truck. My SIL's Ram 2500 diesel rips his 5-6K toy hauler around no prob with no WDH.
With my former TV, a Ford Explorer, a fully loaded cargo trailer at 3-3.5K# porpoised like crazy. With my near 4K# TT and a WDH, no porpoising and towed in straightaways like the TV & TT were one unit. Made me wish I tried a WDH with my cargo trailer.
I may not NEED a WDH with the new F150 but I plan on using it for the solid feel I had with it before.
