I have an online subscription to Consumers Reports and while looking at some of their vehicle tests yesterday found something that I think is pertinent here: The front axle vs rear axle weight distribution for the Ford Expedition is 50%-50% while that of the Ford 150 is 57%-43%. The Tahoe and Silverado were 52%-48% and 58%-42%. A quick calclation tells me the SUVs are carrying near equal weight front and back sitting as they comes from the factory while the pickups are carring 800lbs more on their front axles than their rear axles. This is probably why you can throw a thousand lbs of firewood in the back of a pickup and still drive home safely and why some say we may not need a WDH to tow a TM with a full size pickup. IMO it also means the "one-size-fits-all" approach to adjusting a WDH is not valid. Is there some law of physics that I'm not aware of that proves me wrong on this matter?
