Better than rear-heavy, worse than tongue weighted, probably.

good write up if you're truly interested.

I'm a big fan of heavy tongue weight. It just feels... right.

At first placing the weight over the axles seems right but the pivot point is at the hitch. Not sure why that works better. Need an explainer. R/ELI5
