As usual...it depends...
The graphic below shows how the ratings system works. Need actual weights in
order to truly know where you are in reference to those ratings.
Decide whether you believe in the ratings system or not.
If not, then academic and do whatever you wish, but note that now the OEM is
off the liability hook. Lots of folks do NOT understand the metrics
of the ratings, nor understand (truly) what a rating number is/means...my
opinion from reading threads here for years and years...plus personal
experience helping others figure it out and/or setting up their systems
If yes, then follow the graphic and use 'real' or 'actual' weights to do the
simple math.
Can work it from the trailer to the TV, or from the TV to the trailer. Simple
math
Also, as noted before, the GMT900 Sub's have a built in receiver that is part
of the bumper. So crash crumple zone duties. Notched bracket to frame and is
a stress raiser. That then has the tongue & hitch weight limited to a max of 1,000 lbs
