TT tongue weight vs TV tongue weight capacity
I have a 2004 Lincoln Navigator with the tow package and self leveling air bag suspension. Ratings on truck are 8850lbs MGTW and 885lbs max tongue weight. The trailer we want is rated at 7910lbs GVWR...

Shifting the load to make tongue weight lighter is a good way to make an unstable trailer. Most TTs need more than 10% tongue weight to be stable. Sometimes even 15% is needed. Other trailers (like boats) can get by with less because they have a smaller moment of inertia (mass is closer to the axles).
