Thanks for the reply guys. I'm aware of the hitch issues on these trucks. I think I found the best of both worlds. The dealer has 5 used WD hitches from $150-$200. I'm just going to buy one of these. I don't want to get 1hr in on a 6hr trip and realize I've made a mistake. On shorter trips I may go without the WD, but not the first time towing and on a trip this long.
Good move. Don't forget the sway control if it is not built in.

Even with a 2500 a 5,000# TT with only 550# of Tongue weight is asking for sway issues, then 29' at only 5,000# is asking for wind induced sway.
