Thanks for the input. WDH huh. Pretty spendy. What do you pull your pod with?

The WDH does several things for you. The primary function is to transfer weight back onto the truck's front axle. That maintains the steering control that is reduced when you put weight on the truck behind it's rear axle. Think of a kid's teeter totter or see-saw. The second function is to stiffen the TV/TT combination so it doesn't porpoise and bounce as you go over dips and bumps. That's primarily a comfort issue but it really reduces driver tension and stress. The third function is sway control which is provided by combination WDHs like the E2. If you look back through the posts on this forum you will see most folks opt for WDH even though they may technically not need it. Even the full sized pickup owners end up concluding "You may not need it but you'll want it." I pulled the 172 with a Honda 4wd Pilot, similar in size to the S-10, and realized a great benefit from the WDH. I still use it on the Tacoma, but with a slightly heavier TT. |
