Was responding to misinformation in post #14.

As to tongue weight, TM has always biased the tongue weight to about 15% instead of 10-12% of the total trailer weight to help reduce sway. This results in 430-460 lbs for a 2720 and proportionally higher or lower for others.

Since most class II hitches are 350/3500 lbs you really need something designed for and with a class III or class IV receiver. In simpler terms, at least a 2" receiver. Should be either stamped on the receiver or in the owner's manual.

But tongue weight is only one of the elements to comfortable/safe towing. It is best to have a TV with a factory towing package rated for at least 500/5000 lbs. More is better. If the rear drops more than about 3/4" or if the nose rises uncomfortably then a weight distributing hitch is the generally accepter answer. If for some reason a WDH is not advisable then some form of load levelling device is advisable (is part of many factory trailer towing packages).

If a novice and have options, it is best to use one of the TVs that are known to function will with a TM.

I have towed A Lot, run all of the math, and am chea^H^H^H^H thrifty so am biased.
