WDH needed?
Is a WDH always needed? I just recently changed out my TV from an F-150 to an F-250, 4x4 CC, 6.7L diesel. The GVWR of my TT is 7650 lbs. According to the Ford site, this TV can tow up to 8,500 lb...

Assuming the TT is level after hooking up, do the numbers above warrant using a WDH?
the tongue weight for your truck is limited to 850# without a WDH.
If your loaded trailer weight is 7000#, its tongue weight might be in the range of 900-1050#.
I would use a WDH.
