Sorry if this has been asked before but, as a newb, I read many posts on WD hitches and tongue weight and couldn't seem to find an answer. I understand how a WD hitch works and what it does, but do...
The main reason why the answer is "No" is because there is no way to easily determine how much weight is "removed" from the tongue when WD is applied and adjusted properly. It can be done but only if you know exact weights, and are good at math.
The ratings numbers indicate the dead weight of the trailer tongue, to make it simple. If it says 1000lbs with WD hitch, that means if you put the tongue of the trailer on a scale, it darn well better not weigh more than 1000lbs.
