Why do people worry about the TW then using a WD hitch that transfers weight to the steer axle and TT axle? To me these number mean less than the actual weights one tows with. Your towing setup/weights are more of a concern. Additionally, I get the "rules of thumbs" with ratios but what is the "rule of thumb" regarding what percent of weight is transferred while using the WD hitch? Based on my experience its a lot more than you would think. Its not the 10-20% I have seen in threads. I saw a few hundred pound increase on my steer axle once I used the WD. Using the WD is using technology in your favor.
