My son in law recently sold a TT that had a 9,000 lbs GVWR. The guy that purchased it showed up with a GMC 2500 to tow it a few hundred miles home. There was no WDH setup on the trailer so I was surprised when the new owner hitched it to the ball attached the chains and left.

I have an F-250 with a 6,000lbs tow limit without WDH so I check the specs for the GMC and was surprised to find it had a 13,000lbs max towing capability without a WDH. What about this truck manages even transfer of weight to both axles without a WDH?

Contrary to the RV board spew......many more people are towing heavy trailers around with HD trucks without WD hitches, than are towing with them, such as contractors, hotshotters, you name it. Most of them are also using pintle hitches. Despite whatever the tow rating on the truck is, the OEM hitch on a GM 2500HD after 2013 through current model year is 2000 lbs TW, either WD or WC, and 20000 trailer weight.
