what if tongue weight is the only "problem"?
I just set up my Airstream 28' with a 2016 F250 diesel equipped with Ride Rite airbags and an adjustable height hitch. As set up, my setup at about 20 lbs in the airbags gives me a level truck and le...

A trailer with independent suspension must ride level. Not nose down.
A WDH with integrated anti-sway on a Class V Titan receiver is simple to accomplish. And not difficult to adjust based on certified scale readings. Better handling and braking. Same for getting TV tire pressures correct. Too much air is a very bad idea.
Forgotten by many is that this static measurement at the hitch ball is only a representation of roadgoing dynamics. That long lever from TT axles to hitch ball can exert thousands of pounds of force. Spreading that force across three sets of wheels makes a better responding rig.
The sail area of a TT is what makes both WD and antisway a good choice. Trailers with a low wind profile aren't comparable. "Weight" is a lesser consideration against what causes loss of control accidents.
What engine is in the TV makes little difference, if any. It's pretty much irrelevant to what matters in achieving best performance.
