WDH
Is a WDH necessary with the newer trucks(2015 F250)that have sway control and air bags? Thinking maybe getting a TT with weight around 10K GVWR and 1060 tongue weight(per brochure).

I know our Chevy HD can handle the 10K GVWR of our 33' TT as it has 3.3K# of payload, but living and RVing in the Mountain West means high winds are pretty common and traveling at interstate speeds I definitely engage our WD/SC hitch every time we go out RVing. We have a very comfortable towing experience with no sway to speak of, even when passing commercial diesel trucks our rig feels rock solid.
I've seen too many HD trucks hauling TTs that had no or severely inadequate hitches that didn't dare go much more than 55 mph as sway was very noticeable as we approached them from behind. You could visibly see their hands white-knuckling their steering wheels as we passed smoothly by, under those conditions I can see why so many herald the towing experience they have with a fifth wheel.
A TV/TT towing combination with a quality WD/SC hitch that is properly dialed in can deliver an excellent towing experience, of course you have to have enough truck to do the job to begin with. With the size of TT you are planning to get, why stress towing such a nice TT arriving to your destination fatigued from the less than ideal towing experience. Make the investment so you can truly enjoy your new TT.

The above advice is totally correct. The difference between a comfortable towing experience and a white knuckle ride is a well set up WD/SC hitch. See my sig for my set up.
