The fuel tank size IS a bummer. But have others have mentioned, the fuel tank is still larger than our bladders. ? I often travel in remote areas of the Mountain and Pacific time zones, so fuel stops have to be carefully coordinated, and range anxiety is sometimes a thing. If I'm camping 40 miles down a dirt road, darn right I'm filling up before going in.
You keep pushing GEN-Y hitches like @AzScorpion pushes tailgate dampers. They don't even make a Weight Distribution hitch. Their just an expensive cushioned drop shank to use with what ever WDH you choose. The cushioning probably messes with the weight distribution.
I dont use wdh. I have never had a need for them. I do use different trailers so have the need for an adjustable hitch. Would love to have one of these torsion hitches, but for now, i have my regular drop hitch for trailers. The boss torsion hitch can be used with a wdh. They also make a weight distribution shank. But id get get a new car trailer before i get a wdh. They make tshirts too! At least have shirts with their name on them. I would never use a bs hitch or anything else. Gen-y is a very robust, safe hitch. Wouldnt trust anything else. So untill then....
Having towed across the US multiple times with a 5000 pound trailer I can tell you that the quality of ride with a WDH versus without is night and day.
You sound like you're in a cult.
To be fair he is part of the damper (tailgate strut assist) cult. This may have clouded his judgement on many other things now. ?
For the price of a Gen y I would rather stick with a regular hitch and WDH. Main reason being that you never know what you need to have for ball height drop as it changes with every vehicle and load.
The beauty of gen-y. Adjustable to your needs, if you get the right hitch, i have the rebel with 8 inch drop, or rise. All adjustable. They jave what you would ever need or want. Goose neck and 5th wheel too! I should be a sales rep. I do take it off when not towing.
