Hello,
Congrats on the new Truck!
Yes, you will need a weight distribution hitch. The self leveling system will level out the rear end but does nothing to help restore the lost weight off of the front tires.
Also, as far as the adaptive cruise control. When you tow you have a vehicle that pivots in the middle, I can see how the adaptive cruise control could cause issues with this, possible causing a sway event or even a loss of control. I would definitely stay away from adaptive cruise control or any other auto pilot feature, heck, cruise control in my vehicle is not used while towing. I want to be 100% in control all the time.
Thanks!
