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.

If you don't have enough tongue weight the trailer may be more likely to
sway. You're pretty close to 10% so I'm betting you'll be OK. Take it
for a spin and keep a close eye on it.

Have you tried the golf car in both directions? The rear end could be
heavier and backing on the trailer might do just what you need.

Backing in would leave too much hanging out over the tongue.
There's a couple more things I can try to put more weight on the
tongue if need be.


Just shift the axle.



Can't do it. It's a folding trailer.
