Yup, keep arguing with me genius, I've been in the trucking (Family) business my entire life. Didn't my Gravel Truck above tell you something?

I don't come on here and tell you how to set up a cam, or port heads, or what carb to run.

You've said enough BS in this thread, go somewhere else.




You might think its BS... but like its been said..
apples and oranges... your trailer is designed to be
loaded on the axles... our car haulers need tongue
weight... but since you drive a truck .. never mind..
but all the rest of us are wrong.... OK
EDIT
just so others dont think this is BS
Proper Tongue Weight



If you don't have enough weight on the trailer tongue, less than 10 percent of the total loaded trailer weight, the trailer can end up swaying from side to side, making it difficult to control. If you have too much weight on the trailer tongue, more than 15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight, it can overload the rear tires and push the rear of the vehicle around. You might not be able to go around corners and curves properly, and your vehicle might not stop fast enough when you press the brake pedal.



Load Placement



Start with a correctly placed load to end up with the proper tongue weight and a safe trailer towing experience. The tongue weight is the static force the trailer tongue exerts on the hitch ball. An improper load condition can make for a dangerous trailering situation. Proper trailer tongue weight can make the difference between a safe trailer towing experience and a difficult journey.



According to the 2013 GMC Trailering Guide, to get the proper trailer tongue weight, you should put about 60 percent of the load centered evenly over the front half of the trailer. You can calculate the proper trailer tongue weight by figuring 10 to 15% of the total loaded trailer weight. For example, a 3,000 pound trailer has a proper tongue weight of 300 to 450 pounds.
