So I did have a question about tongue weight vs overall weight. When I weighed the tongue- it weighed in at approx 400lbs, can I add weight/cargo to the back of the trailer? Or is my ONLY allowable additional weight the 500ish lbs for passengers and cargo IN the truck?
You can add cargo to the trailer, but do not deliberately place extra weight behind the axles in an effort to reduce the tongue weight. Too light a tongue can cause sway. Been there, done that, and it ain't pretty.
