Yes but Andy in general you do want 10-15% of the total trailer weight to be tongue weight. If your car can tow 1,000lbs then it prob has a tongue weight of 200lbs max. But its prob not called out anywhere since its not very common in small cars. Too much tongue weight just has the effect of wearing out your tires or overloading the vehicle, but it will still be stable towing. Too little tongue weight will give swaying which is a nono.

Ive done too much research on towing with this new truck......
