Can I use a WDH on a DP
I tow a 22' enclosed trailer behind the DP in my signature. It has a 10,000 lb hitch with a 1000 lb tongue weight capacity. I have been hauling a UTV weighing 1100 lbs in the front and a 3200 lb...

Have you tried moving the trailer contents around to reduce the tongue weight?
The only two heavy items in the trailer are a side x side utv and a small suv(Suzuki grand Vitara).
With the Suzuki facing forward I have a tongue weight of close to 1500lbs. Iif I back it in so that the engine is behind the trailer axles, it puts the tongue weight at 1200 lbs. Too much weight unless I find out that my hitch is rated for more than the 1000lbs that I think it is.
Again, it's not just about your hitch rating, which doesn't help a bit, if your rear axle is gonna be grossly overloaded.
