I completely agree, but I hadn't noticed that cost was the major issue - or even a significant factor - in most people's WDH-or-not decision, at least in this thread.

What does Toyota say? They know the vehicle better than we do. I don't know what year of truck this is, but the 2015 Tundra owner's manual says:

I note that Toyota always (for all models of...

I did explain, both how the experience is not relevant and what is wrong with his guidance. If anything I said was not clear, please let me know.

Dave, I assume that was intended to be "Pro Series WDH", the less expensive of Escape's options. Of course any other brand of basic two-bars-and-chains WDH would work the same way.

I mean no disrespect to your friend, but I don't think any number of years towing 20-ton fifth-wheel semi-trailers with ten-ton tractors which are designed specifically for towing would provide...

It means that none of these equipment choices is required, and the WD part is not even recommended by Nissan (but they also don't recommend against it). It also means that drive traction is not a...

A friend of mine had the first- and second-generation Pathfinders, and I have been considering getting an SUV for a specific purpose, and the third-generation might be a good fit. I happened to have...

That's the second generation. This is significantly shorter than the later Pathfinders. Other people with SUVs of this wheelbase length (such as the RAV4) have remarked that they like having the WDH...

Yes.
The towing equipment manufacturer (Cequent, using the Pro Series brand name) sells the WDH and an add-on device as a package, although you don't need to buy them together.
