I am buying a Ultra Lite 2702ws which has a tongue weight of 800 pounds. My dealer says that an equalizer will be able to reduce the tongue weight in half. Does this seem correct?
800 pounds of TW will cause about 1100 pound increase on the tow vehicle rear axle and decrease the front by 300. A WDH when adjusted to return all 300 pounds back to the front axle will have a net increase of about 650 pounds on the rear axle (instead of 1100) and put 150 on the trailer axles.
That's the closest I can come up with factually to support his "half" claim.
