I totally agree. Buyer beware. Not a bad rule to follow in all cases. The limitations of the Andersen hitch are mentioned quite often on here.
I have a 2500 HD, had a 1500. Neither "Requires" weight distributing hitch with my trailer. My statement was that not all manufacturers require WD hitches all the time. I heard somewhere that GM (combined) is the first or second largest manufacturer of pickups. When they say WD is not required for a 7,000 pound trailer with their pickups, I listen. Others may choose not to.
