Bill, another reason to have a WDH is due to rear axle ratings. Although my Tahoe doesn't technically need a WDH with a tow rating even higher than Rob's, depending on how much gear he stows in his Nissan, and how he packs his TM, he could go over his rear axle limit. I think it is not so much for safety, but wear and tear on wheel bearings.
