I USE a WDH for my trailer when it is towed with my 1/2 ton (payload 1803, GAWR reduces it to 1440).
HOWEVER, it looks like I will be ordering a 2017 F350 Diesel Lariat 4x4 (3094 payload) for reasons not solely related to towing our small TT.
Trailer GVWR is 6200 lbs.
Putting on a WDH is not particularly hard but is it really needed for this super duty? Certainly it simplifies the hook-up and unhook process.
For those that don't use a WDH what is the ratio of truck to trailer?
I might add a ATV to the back of the F350 occasionally reducing the payload by 900 lbs. but still well within its capabilities. Don't know if that would start to tip the scale back to using the WDH.

Wow, im surprised a 1 ton/ f350 only has 3094 lbs of payload. My 2017 2500 , 3/4 ton hd ram has more payload, it has over 3100 lbs.
You have a Hemi. Drop a CTD in and your CCC drops to 2200 lbs +/-. But yeah that does seem low for a 1 ton truck. Even Ram 3500 SRW are near 4000lbs with a CTD.
