What size is the Dodge factory towing package?

That's a question I can't get answered...

 

Why is that only RV's require a Weight Distribution Hitch where most all utility trailers don't? Like my Fire Chief has utility box trailers that gross more weight than my RV but don't require a WD hitch. Even my BigTex 70TV is really close to the RV in weights but doesn't require a WD hitch either. But some can hitch up to a bumper bull flat bed trailer grossing 13,000 to 14,000 with a tractor no problem without a WD hitch but on the flip side RV requires (or highly suggested). Why is this?

here's  a  shot in the dark...

 

RV's  'look'  like  they  may have  a  higher  center of  gravity..  (of course,  depending on how a  utility trailer is loaded...)    and  upon   braking,    that may   cause   more  rotational  downforce  on the hitch..  

    RV's  are  loaded/towed   'heavy'   dang near  100%  of the time,  a  utility  is    closer to 50%   of the time..      (run  empty to   pick  up  a load,  return home  loaded..  or  vice versa  ) 

 

Location of   axles...     RV's   more  rearward  on   axle  CL...  giving more   tongue weight,  (but more   towing  stability)  than   a  utility?  Some people  only   pull a trailer   once or  twice a year,  and   having  ease of  pulling/stability  may be more important than  'light'  tongue weight.. 

Or  here's  another  thought:     people  who can  afford  a  nice  RV,   can also  afford  this  'option'  (whether or not  it's really needed) 

This  is  all I can come up with!

UHaul doesn't rent anything that can't be towed with a half ton. Tell em to shut up and rent you the trailer.

Ya, I know I'm a little late chiming in. LOL.
