Quoted from an earlier/similar question:

The only conditions that would warrant NOT using WD is that the tongue and trailer weight are below the listed spec in your truck manual, AND if when hitched, the front end of the truck does not rise.
If the front end rises, then the trailer has taken weight off the front axle and it needs to be returned for safety. Even in the unlikely event you do not really NEED WD, sway control is certainly advised.
