Hello All We just bought our First TT. We are so excited. I have decided to go with Equalizer WDH. What size 1000/10000 or 1200/12000. TT is GVWR 7660 and hitch weight is 660. The tt does have a front storage. TV is 2011 F150 SC 4x4 max tow pkg. joe

well in my way of thinking I would go with the 1200. if in a few years you needs change and you get a larger TT then you will not have to pay again for a larger capacity WDH.

Congrats on your new trailer. As for the wdh I would try and match as close to your weight and in your case the 1000 would be a better fit. Too much wd can cause other issues and too much of a wdh can cause issues like porpoising and other rough ride issues. In some case can cause issues to the tounge of the trailer but I don't think that would be a risk.

Just my thoughts.

Size your hitch based on the trailers GVWR without being LESS than that amount. Assume 15% or GVWR as loded tongue weight.
Good luck / Skip
