WDH Really Needed?
Does a 19' Travel Trailer weighing less than 5000lbs and 450lbs TW being towed by a 3/4 truck need a WDH? Or Antisway?

With that size trailer on a 3/4 ton truck you do not need WD... UNLESS:
1. Your receiver is rated to only 500lbs without WD and your tongue is over 500lbs.
2. Your WD hitch has integrated sway control, such as a Reese Dual Cam, a Blue Ox Sway Pro, or an Equal-i-zer.
Either way it is not really about steering with a 3/4 ton truck. It is a receiver limitation, or a simple preventative measure.
Yes, if the trailer is properly built and properly loaded, it will tow fine without . That is a *BIG IF*. You'll never know for sure that it's properly built, but you will find out quickly, and catastrophically, if it isn't.
I guess if you don't mind the occasional cheek-clenching terror associated with a sway event, you can afford to experiment...
