Do I need a WD hitch
I just bought a new truck 2011 dodge 2500 crew cab 4wd with the 5.7L and 3.73 gears. I have a Taho Lite TT 21' 3800lbs sopping wet, tongue weight 300lbs + or - a few pounds. Do I need a WD hitch for ...

Hello,
I've been towing a 7000# TT, 900# tongue weight, with my Ford factory class III hitch and Equalizer 12000# WD hitch.(trailer weights are Wet).
I'm getting rid of the trailer and picking up a lighter trailer with a dry weight of 3900# and a dry hitch weight of 500#. Based on my previous TT, I'll be carrying about 800 - 900# of gear/food/water, so Wet weights for the new trailer should be about 4800# GVW and around 600# or so tongue weight.
I'm thinking it might be nicer to upgrade to a Class IV hitch and skip the WD hitch. I used to pull the old trailer with a one ton diesel and it was drop the coupler on the ball and go and I would sure like to get back to that instead of messing with another WD hitch.
