I have a 2021 diesel. I’m on 37s with AEVs heavy springs. We are purchasing a Taxa Mantis and are looking between an articulating hitch or a weight distribution hitch. We will be doing overlanding some and highway driving. Which should we choose and why? Thank you

Articulating hitch if the tongue weight doesn’t cause much sag and if you’re going to spend a lot of time on trails that will require lots of articulation.

Weight distribution hitch if the trailer causes more than a small amount of sag and if you’re going to spend most of your time on the highway.

Unfortuately there’s trade offs here with both. If it were me I’d probably go WD and just remember to remove the bars before off-roading.
