Tongue weight
If the weight on my TT's tongue exceeds the recommended 10-15%, what should I do?

The more tongue weight you have the better it will tow. As long as you are not over on any of your truck spec's leave it.

This is a major reason 5th wheels tow better with pin weights in the 20-25% and sometimes even more.
The more tongue weight or pin the better.
The big guys have pin weights that often get near 40%.
I disagree with that conclusion. The MAIN/MAJOR REASON for the better stability and towing characteristics of a 5er is from WHERE the pin/hitch wt. is in reference to the TV rear axle and NOT FROM THE HIGHER pin/hitch wt.

Lower your pin weight to 10% where many tongue pulls are at then tell us how the handling compares to 20-25%.
