At what point do I need a WD hitch?
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...

I like to keep things simple so for me, the only reason I use a WD hitch is to satisfy the ratings of the receiver. Keeping in mind that tongue weight increases quickly from advertised tongue weight. If actual weighed tongue weight is less than the manufacturer’s max weight rating without WD, I prefer a simple, short ball mount. I went back and forth with it after the dealer talked me into a WD hitch for our first rig, a new 21’ ball to bumper TT towed with a then new ‘94 F150. I eventually decided on a short straight ball mount with no WD. Towed like a champ and hitching and unhitching was simple.
