"Vehicle manufacturers require weight distribution."
How much does GM "Require" for their 1500 and 2500 HD models? You are making a blanket statement without the facts to back it up. Check out the latest Owner's manuals for the correct information, not just what you think. Hint: It is way less than you think, often zero.
I do not care if Andersen sells another hitch. I commend them for trying. Many owners post their positive experiences. Some post their failures. Glad to read about both.
The Andersen hitch does provide "some" weight distribution, or else why do my scale readings indicate that it does? It has been well documented and restated many times, it is not often enough for some people.
