    Tater, I respectfully agree and disagree. the tongue weight should be 10-15% of the total weight. In the real world tho who Is gonna know the exact tongue weight? the op is driving a 1/2 ton pickup, and let's face it, we all try to "maximize" our loads. So say he has the box of his pickup "maximized" and puts as much weight forward on the trailer as possible, the op is gonna be doing wheelies. not to mention, if you are driving after dark, you are blinding oncoming traffic. I do like your other suggestions tho. Makes a lot of sense. Anyhow, we both agree DONT BE HEAVY ON THE BACK!!!



    Edit: Roadwarrior, you got a great deal on a nice trailer!
