Actual Hitch Weight vs Dry Hitch Weight
I'm currently looking at a lighter TT. I'm concerned with hitch weight right now on my Ram 1500. My towing capacity is fine (10,050lbs). I'm looking at TTs with a dry hitch weight between 515-600lbs. ...

For a real world case, my trailer in my signature had dry hitch weight of 806 lbs. With two full propane tanks, a power tongue jack, and a battery on the tongue, then all of our stuff in the trailer, its tongue weight was at 1,080 lbs. (weighed with Sherline scale).
If you're still in the shopping stage, try to stay with trailers below 6,000 lbs. GVW (gross vehicle weight). I know it's tough because it'll seem like everything you look at is too heavy, but there's a lot of lightweight trailers on the market now.
