Hey guys. We are looking to pick up a Coleman 215bh later this week and I have to drive 1.5 hours away to pick it up. I currently have a 2014 f150 eco w/ max tow with a hitch that has a couple ratings on the bottom: Weight Distribution Max Gross 10500 lbs, Max tongue weight 1050; Weight Carrying 5000 lbs, Max Tongue Weight 500 lbs.
I have been reading up that its best to get a WDH w/ sway control; but I am not sure if I need it or not? Specifically if I need it to get the trailer home to the house where I can buy my own WDH instead of the dealer charging me $850.
Besides it being a better overall ride, would it be dangerous to try to pull this thing home without a WDH? I was under the impression the hitch I have has distribution built in per the ratings.
anybody have any experience with this? Trailer dry weight is 4500lbs; cant find tongue (I'm guessing around 500?)
