There is nothing off-putting about WD hitches, I have used half a dozen different ones in my time. The OP asked what is the simplest system. The revised list is a comparison for him, using a 2500HD pickup as an example. (Yes, I know we both have to plug in the electric and hook up safety chains, but neither of us has them listed) Another small advantage is that a simple shank and ball are pretty light. I also recognize that it is not a race, but if someone moves quite often, the savings in time and effort add up.
Thank you. You're correct that I was asking about simplest. I understand WD and sway hookup may be no big deal to some, but I really prefer fewer steps and less time on setup/takedown.
As I said in post above, this discussion has helped me realize 3/4 ton truck is best solution for me, even if not ideal for daily driver.
