- blt2skiModeratorI did not use a WD with a 12K 1500 HW trailer on my SW3500 or dually version. Barely too 200-300 lbs off the FA.
I do admit, I generally speaking used a WD with my same size TT you have weight wise. With that said, it usually took no more than 60-100 lbs off the FA. It was as noted set pretty light tension wise.
What I did NOTICE with a WD, was the side to side rocking in side winds was lowered with a WD, and even less with a dual cam.
With the above typed, I would suggest a WD with the new truck. Needed? no
Marty - ScottGNomadNo, you wont need air bags.
- shum02ExplorerOf using the WDH for that weight trailer use the lowest setting for the hitch. The truck will fight you if you try to move any weight forward. 800lbs on a F350 hitch will barely move it.
- Grit_dogNavigator1000lbs tongue weight load carrying won’t require anything on a 1 ton.
If you use a wdh as well for a little trailer hooked to a big truck, you won’t even get the advantage of smoothing out the ride with weight “in” the bed.
However if you’ve actually driven a 1 ton truck you’d know this, so beware, it may be too much suspension compared to what your used to. They don’t ride like a 1/2 ton - Ron3rdExplorer IIIDoubt it. The F350 probably won't know you put anything on the hitch.
