How do you determine hitch weight?
And what do you do if the mfr's. website says one thing and the dealers say another? Most dealers won't let you drive to a scale to determine the correct weights.

I would use this formula as a good estimate: Trailer rated gvwr x 13%.
Example: If the trailer gvwr (max allowable weight loaded) is listed as 8,000 lbs, the tongue has a potential loaded to weigh 1,040 lbs.
