Never needed a load distributing hitch for this truck. Every place that I've asked about them (inquiring about enclosed car trailers) say it's used on smaller trucks when the truck doesn't weigh as much as the trailer and the trailer would "push" the truck but that doesn't take into account aerodynamics/unbalanced load which would make it sway. There are load distributing hitches that don't have the sway control.
