Doug,
As BarneyS stated (and it often is overlooked) The weight carrying capacity of the hitch is normally less than the tongue weight of a TT. The WD system allows this capacity to increase as it changes how the load is applied to the hitch itself.

You have to admit this sure seems like a contradiction to your original point and Ron's as well. I thought your point was that tongue weight and weight on the hitch itself remains the same (right there where it was before the WD system was engaged). Now you are saying that the weight carrying capacity of the hitch is normally less than the tongue weight of a TT. If you cannot distribute tongue weight as you claim, then is'nt all that original tongue weight still right there on the hitch??? You can't have it both ways.
From Barney: " Even at empty weight, your tongue weight will probably be over the rating of your hitch if you do no use the WD capability." Is not Barney implying that after engagement of the WD system, the load on the hitch is less? If it is not less than you are still over the rating on the hitch.
