Thanks for the reply but 100% not looking to buy new nor financing. I don't want to end up with something brand new that is a trial for a hobby that may or may not work out
Looking to buy used, find a decent deal and be able to dump if I don't like for 90% of the cost two years later. Something that has depreciated a ton already. I'd guess $4,000 - $8,000.
Additionally I seem to have discovered that buying a hitch that will tow anything heavy might be a bad idea as it sounds like if I have a large tongue weight but barely use it all the trailer may be unpredictable?

For example, if the weight distribution system has a 1,000 pound (454 kilogram) tongue weight capacity but the trailer is loaded with only 300 pounds (136 kilograms) of tongue weight with 50 pounds (23 kilograms) of cargo in the trunk of the towing vehicle, you're about 650 pounds (295 kilograms) under the rating. That can make the distribution unpredictable and dangerous. On the other hand, if the system is rated to 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms) of tongue weight but you're attempting to distribute 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms) of tongue weight, the system won't be able to distribute the weight effectively and you'll also have some serious problems. Keep that infamous rule from "The Price Is Right" in mind when choosing a weight distribution system -- you want to bid the closest without going over.
