The WD hitch uses spring bars to level the sag at the hitch, allowing the truck and trailer to sit level. It does nothing to increase the capacity that the truck can carry.
A quick digression if I may....what's better, a WD hitch or allowing the stock Avalanche air shocks to level it? I'm curious because some vehicles say to disable the air suspension when towing but the Avalanche does not. I sometimes tow car haulers or my brother's TT (with a WDH) and wonder which is best.
Back on topic, sort of, I've towed 6,000 lb. loads with my Avalanche without any problems. It feels fine, most recently on a 600-mile round-trip trek to Boston to fetch a Jeep Wrangler with U-Haul's 2,100 lb. auto transport trailer. I know, not a TT, but a heavy (and toungue-heavy) load nonetheless.
