:) Hi, what does the sticker on your receiver say? Usually there are two numbers on it. One is for weight on the ball and the other one is higher for use with a WD hitch. So if your trailer's tongue weight is less than the lower number, you don't need a WD hitch. You still should have some form of sway control.
My F-150 receiver says 500 lbs Weight Carrying and 1,150 lbs Weight Distributing. So if my trailer has a tongue weight of 500 lbs or less, I don't have to have a WD hitch.
(my opinion)
