[QUOTE="STAMPEDE3, post: 16039114, member: 9007"] There is also way more to the payload thing but it complicates things. For a car/ utility you can damn near throw the % out the window. Stick with roughly 400lb tongue weight and you will be fine. Keep in mind, 1/2 ton trucks come with class III hitches. Without a load leveling hitch that is good for 6000 and 600 tongue weight. Your normal ball mount wit 0 to 2” drop is good for 5000/500. There is a never ending cycle of rules to go by on this. You can tell when you overload, have not enough or too much tongue weight, etc.... And I’m one that will tell you that towing 11k with. 1/2 ton is stupid. Get you a 18ft trailer, load it right and never look back if you are just hauling your car to the track and back. Anything more, get. 3/4 or 1 ton.
