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.
