    That makes sense

    My only other concern / ongoing wonder with low rated ball weights is for example when towing a twin axle say when i back up my driveway for a brief period the trailer is only supported on the rear axle thus moving the CG quite a bit forwards making the tongue weight dramatically increase. Although i guess manufacturers would have taken such into account in situations like these with a full load i can imagine the tongue weight increasing momentarily far far beyond the rated load.

      Cool cheers for the info gonna look a bit more into it. Few questions tho. How easy was it to install yourself, would you recommend it? Is the towball detacable, so it looks like its not there and out of the way?

      Cheers.
      Yep tongue unbolts looks like this when it's off.

      Pretty easy to install yourself, you'll need Torx bits to get the bumper cover off and an assortment of spanners and sockets as well as a drill.
