If the car is only 4000#, at least 60% of this weight will be in the front. That equates to a hitch weight (not towing capacity) of 2400 pounds!! Am I missing something here?


Hitch weight is usually around 10-20 %.
I remember a friend of mine had a neat little scale to park the hitch on to measure the weight.
