Some critical numbers are missing. 1. your actual tongue weight which you will only know with a tongue scale or driving to a Cat scale and doing the math. 2. you didn't post the hitch capacity which should be on a label on the hith. 3. The rear axle capacity (on a sticker on the door post of the truck, and the actual weights on the truck's axles, only known by a visit to a Cat scale.
Without that information everyone is strictly "guessing".
With that being said, most folks accept "best practice" is to use WDH with sway control. As previously mentioned the 4 pt system is popular with good reviews. That's a large "sail" to drag and safety should be your fist concern.
