An 6 x 12 enclosed single axle with about 400lbs in it. Trailer by itself is 1500lbs. Did not weight the tongue but I can lift it. Reccomended tongue weight for the Curt Hitch is 500lbs and for the Cequent is 600lbs with 6000 towing capacity. The Curt twisted downward so the chains and the electrical plug got wedged to the bumper cover. I put a long heavy duty pry bar into the reciever and noticed when I would lift on it the hitch and the unibody was twisting at the seems under the bumper shocks.
