It depends on what how much weight you normally carry in the trailer. The easiest way to figure out if you need a weight distribution hitch is to take a look at the trailer while it's loaded and see if it looks level front to back.

If it dips down in the front, more than likely you need a WDH. If the back of your tow vehicle is dipping down, then you are losing front wheel contact and you definitely need a WDH.
