Hi #20 Home Depot,
I guess what I am saying is this: A weight distribution hitch does not change tongue weight. The only thing that changes tongue weight is axle placement and load placement in or on the TT.
However, my point is that the tongue weight gets DISTRIBUTED when a WD hitch is engaged - the sagging tongue and TV rear is brought back to level and some weight is being distributed. This weight will vary depending on many factors but it will not be the exact same as it was when it was just sitting on the ball with no WD engaged. Ron is saying it is EXACTLY the same right there where it always was.
The definition above is a good explanation of my point and you said: "this is correct" ----- to the definition: "this hitch applies leverage between the tow vehicle and the trailer to help distribute trailer's Tongue Weight evenly to vehicle and trailer instead of carrying the load mostly on the rear of the vehicle."
