Well, the experts have spoken. EZ lube is a gimmick.
Now let’s talk wdhs. Gimmick?
Sure,
I buy vehicles with excess cargo capacity to deal with not overloading the rear axle, not taking excess weight off the front axle which IS what WD hitches were originally designed for..
Vehicle manufacturers have also backed down on WD, they no longer recommend full weight "restoration" on the front axle any more. Instead they now recommend no more than 1/2 restoration..
Basically I don't buy into the idea a couple of metal bars magically make a F150 into a F250 or F350.. What happens when the WD has a breakdown and you are in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday evening when no RV supply stores are open?
1,100 lbs on my 2020 F250 hitch drops the rear less than a inch, front barely moves, maybe 1/4".. Not enough to be cause of concern.. Truck doesn't even flatten out (IE bed still rides higher). My 2020 has 3800 lbs of cargo capacity so even at 1,100 lbs hitch weight it isn't going to break in half without WD..
Yes, there IS life without WD.
