The only way it is possible and safe to carry that much weight on a TT is to tongue mount it. I have seen welded tongue extensions on TTs that did a good job. Trouble is it also required considerable strengthening of the trailer frame, heavier WD hitch bars, and awkward loading. Its better to put the bike in the truck.
Tow behind carriers like Idaho Tote do carry most of the weight, they do not change the handling characteristics of a rear heavy weighted unit. Do Not do it! on a TT.
The tail will still wag the dog.
Larger 5ers can use a tote due to physics , not a bumper hitched trailer.
