Should I Buy The Dealer's Hitch
I'm buying a bumper pull trailer and the dealer is offering to install a weight distribution hitch for $1,000. They said it is an Equal-i-zer, I don't remember which model. It's my first trailer so ...

Or the short answer to your actual question. Yes I would absolutely get the truck n trailer and then decide what you need.
How can you buy a trailer with no truck AND make the right decision on accessories when you don’t even know fundamentally what size truck you’re getting?
This is IMO the logical order of operations.
1. Decide roughly what size/weight/configuration of trailer you want and be certain about that.
2. Buy truck suitable for that trailer taking into account whatever you need to.
3. Buy trailer.
4. Buy or don’t buy accessories based on the first 3 and your comfort level towing it.
And another off the wall suggestion. If you’re getting a 9klb gross TT, she’s a pretty big girl.
Have you considered a small 5th wheel camper instead? Not confusing the issue here but if you’re gonna be pulling it all over the country, may as well get a setup that tows better overall. If not a lot of trailering miles, then disregard, as apples to apples IMO the additional cost is not justified if not realizing the value in ease of towing.
