Thanks all for your replies! You all have such good information, with the experience to back it up. Another question I have is about the rating of the hitch. Is it possible to go to big? Say I only need a 10,000lb weight distribution hitch, but buy a 15,000lb one. Will that make it too stiff and create bounce?
i have a much different setup, but the dealer sold me a wdh that was way overkill for my TT. YES, it definitely felt stiff and bouncy! I'm going back tomorrow to downsize the hitch. My TT tongue weight is just over 400lbs, they installed a hitch rated at 1,000. I didn't do enough research to notice how big a deal this was initially, now I've found out the hard way.
they tried to tell me "some people prefer a WDH for bigger TT in case they trade up later" which to me is just BS. if i wanted a bigger TT ill get a bigger hitch later, i want whats right for what i have now, not something i "might" get later.
