I see you load facing forward, I take it you have no issues getting enough tongue weight? Do you have the 16’ or 19’ version?

Yes, no issues whatsoever with tongue weight. Once I loaded backwards and almost ruined my wing. Wing must be in the lowest position and then it barely goes under the tire rack. But it’s very close and I did not feel comfortable. Futura trailer is 16’.5 version.

What do you use to measure tongue weight? Seems hard to believe that there's enough tongue weight with the car's motor behind the axles and no tools/wheels up front.

Actually that car is mid engine. For tongue weight measurements with house hold tools see the bathroom scale method described on etrailer.

U only need/want 10% in the tounge so thats what 450 lbs in that set up. Gas cans, winch and tires would probably even make it too much.

No issues with tongue weight. I have a hitch with tongue weight scale in the ball mount from Weigh Safe. This was recommended by Futura.
