With a payload of 1150#, subtract the wieght of you and your family, plus the stuff you have in the truck plus 100# for the WD hitch. What is left of you payload will be what you can have for tongue weight. For example:
Family weight:..400#
WD htch:........100#
Stuff in truck:..50#
Total...........550#
Payload........1150#
Less............550#
Max tongue wt...600#
GVWR of Trailer..4615#
13% of loaded Trailer tongue 600#
All of the trailers loaded you are looking at will be over 4600#
