WD Hitch or not?
Greetings, I am towing a 26' 7000 pound gross travel trailer with my 2018 Ram 3500 CC SB truck. Do I need a weight distributing hitch with this combo? The Ram manual states the max tongue weigh...

The easy answer is....it depends. Assuming you don't pack the truck with heavy stuff, the tongue weight of the trailer by itself is probably not enough to make the truck sag. WD hitches also provide some level of sway control, so there's benefit there even if you don't need it to level the rig.
If you're towing without a WD hitch now and not having any issues, then there's your answer. If you are having issues, then there's your other answer....
Thanks for the input. I have only towed it once: 3 hours home from the dealer. The trailer was completely empty as was the truck. With this trailer having a rear kitchen, I was concerned it might sway due to low tongue weight.
On the trip home, I used a standard WD hitch with 1200 pound bars and no sway control. The tow was great with no sway at all.
