The real sad thing is that he has told that to countless others and will tell it to countless more that have not done enough research to be skeptical. At least you knew that it didn't sound right and moved on. Many will just take the salesman's advice and then maybe be here after the fact when its too late to do much about it... short of buying a different TV.
If there is one thing I've learned here its that tongue weight often matters much more than overall dry weight or even loaded weight to some extent because of the impact it has on overall payload and the payload limitations on many popular tow vehicles like 1/2 ton pickups.
As much heat as folks get on this and some other sites for being the "weight police", I am glad they at least provide cautionary information to get people thinking.
