I put together a 1720 lb rated Harbor Freight folding trailer.
Approx 300 lbs
On it, I have a 1050 lb golf car.
Tongue weight is 108 lbs with the car as far forward as I can get it.
Some say the tongue weight should be 10 to 15 % of total. Others
say 5 to 10 %.
Let's hear your opinions on the subject.

We're all heard that rule but it doesn't apply to small trailers in my
experience. I have a 4X8 I use to tow my ATV and there's very little
tongue weight and it tracks straight as an arrow. I hate backing that
thing up. The boats are a piece of cake but the short trailers are a bitch!
