WD hitch needed for short TT and short wheelbase vehicle?

To regain some flexibility in my preferred type of travel, I've thought about getting a little (14-20' and under 3000#)) travel trailer that could be towed with my Lexus Land Cruiser (rated for 6500#)...

That's kind of what I wondered. I do have some experience towing but almost all with the 5th wheel and big truck I own. I would expect bounce to be a bigger issue with the little TT's I'm looking at. All are single axle and under 3k#/300#. The LC is about twice the weight of the trailers I'm looking at and is full time 4x4.

I guess what I wonder is where is the line where a WD hitch is called for?
