My currant TV is a 2500HD,my sons truck and yes,it needs a WD hitch for my trailer..It could tow it without it as could my old 1/2 ton did more than once but the outcome is far more harmonious with a WD hitch pulling a long heavy tongued travel trailer.
My personal limit without a WD hitch, is a 24-25 ft trailer.I have pulled a 42 foot without and got from point A to point B..
I am not here to say a fiver is better than a travel trailer,it's not to me and my needs and why I own a 30 foot travel trailer.I am just saying the fiver hooks up faster and better and pulls better,especially in the wind and snow...2500-3000+ lbs on the divers really helps in the snow.In a travel trailer with a WD hitch I start dropping links on the bars to put more weight on the drivers..
That is my take having owned both and used mostly off grid.
