I highly doubt that 6,000 lbs. tongue weight capacity. A class 5 hitch - the heaviest pull-behind hitch made, is rated for a maximum of 2,000 lbs. pin weight. The Ford towing guide for 2000 shows that some of the E350 wagons with the V-10 had a 6,500 lb. max trailer weight. I think you've gotten max trailer weight and tongue weight mixed up.

mmmmkay.... Glad you know my rig better than I do.
https://reunel.com/rear-bumpers/This load was ~2,500 pounds tongue weight. No WD used. 700 mile trip. Like I said in my original post... WD isn't always needed (although it would have been if I had a weeny standard-issue class 5 hitch).
My TT has a more reasonable 1,800 pounds of tongue weight, but it's brakes barely do anything and it has a lot of sail area, so it simply pulls way better using WD.
