Do I Need to use a WDH with an F350 SRW Powerstroke?
Basically...the ratings label on the receiver will have two ratings
One is when towing without a WD Hitch system...AKA Dead Weight towing
Other is towing with a WD Hitch system
Most will be 500 lb tongue max weight without WD, or dead weight or weight carry

Even a half ton can tow without a WD Hitch...if the tongue weight is low
enough...
