Weight distribution hitch
I am sure this has been a well versed topic however would like to hear some comments on why is a weight distribution hitch necessary. I have a 21 foot lightweight trailer and tows pretty good with jus...

WDH hitches also tend to stabilize the handling and ride of trailer/truck combo.
AFAIK, there are thousands of GM HD models out there.
From the GM owner's manual:
2500/3500 Standard Box Weight-Carrying or Weight-Distributing 680 kg (1,500 lb)
2500/3500 Long Box Weight-Carrying or Weight-Distributing 907 kg (2,000 lb)
Interesting, I have never been a GMC person but based on those ratings I may have to start looking at them. I based my statement on Ford's ratings, which I assumed would at least be "in the ballpark" with the other brands. Seems that GMC is missing a major selling point in their advertising. Below are Ford's numbers from 2015 (which I have).
