Setting up the 2017 1500 to tow. Ordered the shocks, air bags, now I need the WDH with sway control.
The hitches seem to be rated for gross weight and 10% tongue weight.
I will be towing a small toy-hauler. (6000 lb gvwr)
Of the people I've talked to, they say their TH tongue weight is around 15% when loaded.
That would put me at 900 lbs TW.
So, do I buy the WDH based on tongue weight or gvwr of the trailer.
For instance:
Do I buy a hitch rated for 10,000 / tw 1000 lbs or 6000 / tw 600 lbs.
