Tow Dolly Weight
If the car you are towing weighs 4000 pounds how much of that weight is on the dolly? Thanks

OP, Google will tell you how much weight and % on each axle for your car. Your CRV is 59:41 so with 200 lbs of stuff in it the front axle has 2065 lbs...took less than 2 minutes.
Doesn't the angle of lifting the front axle change the ratio?
It changes it very little for the angles we're talking about; the center of gravity does move slightly more towards the back axle, but not by much.
If you were to raise the front axle so that the car is vertical, then of course all the weight would be on the back axle (or, more likely, the back bumper). But for a couple of degrees, it's immaterial, and no different than the change due to going up a slight incline.
