Correction to post above.
In my post above, I stated a 500 lb tongue at an arm of 36 inches equaled 1,800 in/lb of moment. That is not correct. This equals 18,000 in/lb of moment, or 1,500 ft/lb. I lost a "0" there.
Sorry about that. I'm surprised no one has pointed this out. But perhaps I should not be surprised though.
