WD hitches have distinct advantages when you're traveling hundreds of miles at highway speeds.
That is 1 way of putting it.
Per my experience WD are patch for poorly design setup.
Most of pickups are design as grocery getter and even they have strong suspension, long rear overhang makes it mostly useless for heavy hitch towing.
As I show on picture above, even my F450 had relatively long overhang, the hitch was very short, so the pivoting point was about 5 feet behind the axle.
I estimated few times to have 4000 lb tongue weight without WD just fine.
And I drove 60 mph for hundreds of miles.
