We ran a construction company and we towed everything from equipment trailers to work trailers with adequate tow vehicles and no weight distribution hitches. When the same weight trailer is sold by a RV dealer, "You have to have a WD hitch" becomes the warning. Go with the tow vehicle manufacturer. They know more about their vehicles than the RV sales people.
There is a difference between doing something and doing it safely all day in whatever weather you encounter and with your family aboard. While not all trailer/truck combinations "require" a WDH you may find that you get to your destination in a better frame of mind if you use one.
