WDH and sway-control scope

The guide's HD footnote is attached to the weight-distributing-hitch statement. It does not clearly say whether the adjacent sway-control guidance is also exempt; check the vehicle and trailer manuals for the specific setup.

These are document-level guide topics. A row requirement appears only when Chevrolet marks that specific rating row.
Lookup state

Multiple outcomes remain visible

An unresolved row presents all published candidates. It does not choose the lowest, highest, or first candidate as the answer.
