Not to beat you up but, to get a real tongue wt. and trailer weight. Look at the trailers GVWR. That is the heaviest weight the trailer should be. And believe me there are many who are going over that wt. With the known GVWR, than use the 10 to 15% rule of that weight as the more real likely tongue weight. With those weights known how does that compare to what the vehicle can pull and carry. To be safe I would use the 15% figure. My listed trailer tongue wt. was printed as 540lbs. I checked that weight on a scale loaded for 2 days camping for 2 people and full of fresh water. Would you believe 900lbs. Your vehicle may be made for the real tongue weight. I do not know but, using the factory tongue or trailer weights of a empty trailer as the guide will lead to problems with any smaller tow vehicle.
