the tongue weight for your truck is limited to 850# without a WDH.
If your loaded trailer weight is 7000#, its tongue weight might be in the range of 900-1050#.
I would use a WDH.

Your truck's owners manual should have the necessary information. :S

Although our truck can handle our 32' TT, our WDH has integrated sway control (SC) and I wouldn't get on the interstates without it with the kind of winds we have to deal with here in the four corner states where we camp most often. Just returned from a 2 week trip and had to drive home through 30+ mph winds with gusts higher than that and thankfully our WDH with integrated SC kept us straight and on the road throughout. Takes us just a couple of minutes to implement with our power tongue jack.

When Is Weight Distribution Needed?
You would likely benefit from a weight-distribution system if:
- Your trailer weight (GTW) is more than 50 percent of your vehicle's weight (GVWR)
