I wouldn't run it unless it is needed, ie 1500 truck.KD4UPL wrote:Bad advice, just because you don't need one doesn't mean he doesn't need one. My 3/4 ton reciever is clearly labeled, 500 lbs max w/o WDH. The best advice he got was for him to read the label on his receiver. Much better than the "I don't need one so neither do you" advice.
You don't need one. Your tongue weight is below the hitch's rating. Save your money.
I tow up to 14,000 pounds without a WDH with my dually and the ride and handling are great. My hitch is rated for 1,700 pounds of tongue weight without a WDH.
