Never heard of the idea that the truck rear axle should correlate to the trailer axle weights...how would you do that towing a 500lb utility trailer with a 6000lb truck?
LOL. I think he meant the 500# trailer weight dispersement would be 160# at each of the three axles....2 TT and 1 truck axle.
No.
If that's the case, then it's a flat out NO. Should be 12-15% on the hitch for standard travel trailer.
Evenly distributed, a modest size 10,000lb trailer would have 3,333lb added to the rear axle. That's more than even 5th wheels which typically run 20-25% on the hitch.
