It was explained to me this way. Right or wrong, not sure but anyway......
When it comes to pulling trailers the load limits and recommended tongue weights are not as much a factor for pulling but more for panic stops. What happens during a panic stop is that the inertia of the trailer and all of its contents wants to push forward and down on the tongue, which in turns pushes forward and up on the front wheels in a sense lessening there contact with the road and possibly the ability to steer.
Again, not certain of this but i did stay at a holiday inn express one time........
That is correct for car & trucks (fixed frame) ATV 4 wheeler & side by sides vehicles pulling a trailer, a motorcycle with hitch hooked to rear swing arm is different (not fixed frame)
I wasn't there but I still care!
