Yes, but in this case the real world experience should be folks towing with a 2017 F-250/350. New to 2017, Ford designed the truck to control sway and the hitch is built to handle the weight. Not only is a WDH not required, it isn't recomended by Ford. I would love to hear real world experience towing with a 2017 Ford Super Duty.
I researched the 2017 and they have snazzy features for towing but went with a used 2012 to save money.
The title of this thread is "Weight Distributing Hitch has anyone not used one". The key word here is "anyone". It is not defined narrowly by the OP to only those driving/towing with a Ford nor did the OP even further refine his question to those only doing it with a 2017 Ford. The OP did not say anything about a Ford except that he is getting one. Had that been in the title I think you might have a point; absent the OP's narrowing it to a specific tow vehicle and specific year the question was and still is wide open for comments from anybody driving/towing with anything that has not used a WD hitch. I give the OP enough credit to know that there are Ford towing websites and operating manuals that also have information about how a Ford tows trailers. And also credit him enough to ask for what he is looking for. Had he only wanted real world experiences from those with a 2017 Ford that would have been so stated.
