I agree with the Ford and GM engineers who don't get all hung up on front axle weight restoration as some of our contributors continue to do. Read the latest manuals if you don't get it. That does not mean that the various ratings do not matter, The engineers still specify those.
I am one who likes a more than adequate tow vehicle with little dependence on trick hitches, oversize tires, weight tweaking, and suspension upgrades. The manufacturers build some great tow vehicle. Ever see anyone come on here complaining, "I have too much tow vehicle, I want to feel that trailer back there"?
