Expert Reply:
I attached a help article that details how to determine a trailer's tongue weight. There are several methods listed one of which is to get a tongue weight scale like part # e99044.
You would not ever want to exceed the 300 lb tongue weight limit that the trailer hitch part # 36336 has under any circumstances.
