hitch weights
I know im going to get a lot of opinions, but please try to keep the answers scientific as possible. I am trying to compare the hitch weight of a fifth wheel trailer to the tongue weight of a bumper...

Assuming it works the same on the back as at the front, then where:
W = weight of added accessory
A= distance accessory is from the rear axle
WB= vehicle wheelbase
Then Actual Weight added to rear axle is (W x(A + WB))/WB
So 1500lbs four feet back from rear axle with a 12 ft wheelbase is really 2000lbs on the rear axle
