I like this setup, but I had a question or clarification needed. You said that your trailer is 6k, fully loaded, but you recommend keeping 15% on the tongue. If that's what you're doing, then your tongue weight would be 900lb., and that's clearly too heavy. So, was that a typo, or is your...
Ha! My three year old kept talking about "his truck". "Your truck?" I'd ask. He'd walk over and lay a hand on the tire. "My truck!" he says with a stern voice. :like: "Ok, buddy. Your truck".
I owned a black vehicle once, and will never own another. Black looks great for about 10 minutes until the first bug splat.

So, I've had my '19 Ranger Lariat in Oxford White for a whopping two-ish weeks now. I've been stopped three...
Also check your tongue weight. It should be 10%-15% of your trailer's total weight. If you're below that, the trailer can seem really 'waggy' and unstable.
