And to say, no one expects a thing to do the job that thing is made to do is a dumb comeback.

It's NOT expected to. The SAE has literal standards for this and nowhere in them are you going to find that the tongue needs to support the entirety of the towed weight. In fact it's quite the opposite. None of you know this though because you've never bothered reading them.

Also, what is the point of fighting this?

Because people read this bullshit and then repeat it just like you're doing now. Tons of weight rolling down the road is dangerous. As always the regulations are literally written in blood.

You absolutely should NOT expect your tow hitch to support the entire weight of the trailer. It's NOT in the SAE specs and frankly there's no passenger vehicle in existence that will tolerate that without dramatically exceeding it's payload rating. You probably don't now what is either but when you exceed it you get broken axles, inability to steer, inability to stop, tires blowing up, suspension failure, and structure failure.

Ever seen a truck pulling a camper and the trucks headlights are aimed at the sky while the hitch is nearly dragging the ground? That's what happens when you have too much tongue weight. You can see that's it wrong and yet here's another army of people trying to argue that its just fine because they listened to another youtuber who has no idea WTF they're talking about.

It's wrong and it gets people killed. Stop it.
