I have a 2021 Max with the max tow package.
I also have a boat and trailer combination between 8 and 8.5k lbs.
I know a lot of guys run WDH's on campers to help with wind sway and what not, but do I really need one to tow the boat 45 minutes to the river and back on weekends? I understand that most vehicle manuals call for the WDH even when they are well overrated for the item being towed...
Running the WDH would require some modifications to the jack on my trailer and is also obviously far more expensive than a standard hitch. If I have to shell out the coin I will but if guys are towing boats like this regularly without one then I will invest in sumo springs, a rear sway bar, and a normal hitch...
Looking for opinions and real world experience.
