WDH? Casita 17
Will I need a weight distributing hitch with a Dodge Dakota towing a Casita 17?

The Dakota is a relatively 'small' truck. Softer suspension, P rated tires.
You are looking at over 400 lbs of tongue weight when the Castita is trip ready loaded..
My opinion, a basic WD hitch would help. The Casita website showes it hitched up with a friction sway bar.
P tires, yes but not necessarily a soft suspension. The Dakota is basically a shrunken 1/2 ton. My 1998 4x4 had a 1550 lb payload with the factory heavy payload springs. It probably would have pulled a Casita just fine without WD. I say give it a shot first and see how it goes.
