weight distribution hitch?
my brother is looking at buying smaller single axle TT. Only 18 ft total length, and 3200 gross weight. He knows he will have to add a brake controller to his F150, but will he need to use WD type hit...

This has been asked many times. Rather than depend on what a bunch of Internet experts have to say. Read the towing information in your owner's manuals for both the truck and trailer. There are those who think a WD hitch is necessary for towing a bicycle and there are others that think that as long as the rear bumper isn't dragging, you are good to go. WD hitches were developed for towing with softly sprung "58 Buicks or old Plymouth station wagons. Modern pickups are much more capable tow vehicles.
The main thing is to get actual weights on the setup to verify tongue weight, payload, etc.
