Not hijacking the thread, but a stupid question here. I have a 2013 Dodge cumins dually with airbags. Would I ever need a WDH if I towed a travel trailer? I wouldn't think so but I have never really done that before.
I can only relate personal experience.
Many years ago, we had a 19 foot TT, one of the old quite heavy ones. Fully self-contained, of course.
I had three vehicles set up to tow it:
A 1970 Jeep Wagoneer, 360 V8, automatic.
A 1976 Ford E150 Club Wagon, 351M V8, automatic.
A 1976 Dodge Ram W250, 400 V8, 4X4, Automatic.
I had a WD hitch, but I only used it when towing the trailer with the Wagoneer. It was absolutely necessary to use the WD hitch then, to keep the back bumper off the ground, and the headlights out of the treetops.
I never used the WD when towing the trailer with the Ford or the Dodge. It just wasn't needed.
Again, that is merely my experience.
