In some utility trailers, with some loads, you can place most of the weight over the axles and have a lighter tongue and not be too unsafe. For TT's, the 15% rule really should apply. Therefore, payload is the limiting factor before max trailer weight comes into play.

Outback, forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the guy that advocates the weights posted on a vehicle don't matter - you just kind of go by what seems right to you?? Not trying to be ugly, and working off memory, but seems like what I remember. If I'm wrong please correct me.
