Why?????????????????????????????????
The weight of the trailer [brake problem] and front shape [wind drag] effects pull and stopping
performance ...
Towing flat does not mean min tongue weight.
I have yet to see a trailer that when flat [hitch adjusted correctly ] did not put a fair amount of weight on the hitch.
And I been towing boats and horse trailers for [ -4, carry the 3====] 40 years.
Hookup is not rocket science.
Set hitch ,, tow ,if it is loose raise hitch, if front of the truck is wandering lower.
Then check.
Every trailer is a critter unto itself and will tell you what it likes.
The 10% rule is not hard an fast...
When we got real trailer brakes , [not just drag brakes working off the stop light]
many things changed...
