There is a label on the receiver on both TVs that states that if exceeding 350 lbs to use a WDH with a max tongue weight not to exceed 500 lbs. Having a tow weight of 436 lbs far exceeds the 350 lb warning.

Kwantau,
Good comment. This is exactly the issue most people overlook in the WDH discussion. Everyone wants to talk about the total weight of the trailer, or the amount of drop in the TV, but they totally disregard the allowable weight on the hitch.
