I don't think a WD hitch reduces the tongue weight but shifts some of it to the front axle on the TV.

You're correct that a WD hitch doesn't reduce tongue weight, however it does reduce load on the truck by shifting some of the load backwards to the trailer axles. And it also shifts load from tow vehicle's rear axle to it's front axle. So the WD hitch shifts load both to the front and rear.

But yes, it doesn't reduce tongue weight. The notion that theWD hitch doesn't reduce tongue weight yet does reduce load can be a hard one to wrap one's mind around. ;-)
