The only way to know for sure is to take your rig to scales and weigh it.
I did loaded, minus half of my fresh water and had a tongue weight of 2300#. Dealer threw in a hitch when bought new with 1400# max TW bars and say they are calculating TW of 10% GVWR. 10% of my GVWR of 12900 is 1290 and I'm at 2300# with a trailer axle weight of 11140#. I know my truck is 3000# weighed at the rear axle unloaded so I did the math and subtracted the dead load and came up with about 2300#???? In the above link the dry weight of that trailer has a tongue weight of 10% of GVWR so is the tongue weight listed the dry weight? Confused??
