I recently purchased a 2021 Sol Dawn trailer. I pull it with a 2017 Toyota 4Runner with a 5000 lb tow rating.
I am struggling with whether I need a weight distribution hitch. I have found that a WDH can bend the aluminum frame under certain conditions. Even Intech is not a supporter of WDH hitches.
I am told maybe add a sway control for safety.
The original owner did not use a WDH.
Does anyone have an opinion on this subject?
Thank you.
