That published 'hitch weight' is DRY based on the DRY trailer weight

1300# DRY tongue is 16%+ of the DRY trailer weight

GVWR 13,000 at 16% = 2080# WET Tongue ..... plan accordingly

It’s a toy hauler biscuit. The dry tongue weight will be at a high percentage when empty, by design. It won’t stay at 16 percent as it’s loaded. Most weight will go in the rear garage so the tongue weight will decrease by percentage.
