As far as WD goes it depends on which one you get. If you get an EQ then the L brackets will require a little work. If you go with something like a Blue Ox then all you have to do is slide the chain brackets on top if the a frame and tighten. You may have to move a propane tank or battery, so it's good to get all the measurements for the one you are using and compare it to the TT. Other than that the WDH just slides into your receiver. You will have to adjust it anyway after you leave the dealer since the TT will be empty and most of the time the dealers never get it adjusted right. So you might as well do it right the 1st time. You may be able to have the dealer torque your ball on the WD if they're easy to deal with.
