Didn't know that, so will the tongue not change as much as say a TT as it's loaded?

Depends where the loading area is located. Most are in the back.

That's how this one is. The garage on it is the back 3/4 or so of it.

Add 200# to the tongue weight for battery and LP tanks.

Then add that bike to the back and you're probably back where you started.

Thing is, you'd always need that weight in the back...

As others mentioned, payload will be your limiting factor. The important thing is to be aware of your actual weights (and axle weights) and the limits of your truck. If you are 200lbs over payload on 6000lb truck, that work out to about 3%. Not advocating for towing overweight and I don't do it, but it is important to keep the numbers in perspective. Get a good quality WD hitch with anti-sway and spend some time figuring out how to adjust it and dial it in so it is perfect for your setup. This will be the number one factor for a safe and comfortable towing experience. I'm very happy with my Propride 3P hitch towing an 8000lb loaded travel trailer with a hitch weight of 1100 lbs. For added stability, I also added airbags and switched to LT tires when it was time for new tires. I also went with a Livewire tuner/monitor so I can keep a close eye on transmission temps etc. and have not had any issues yet. The max tow package comes with increased transmission cooling and stability aids which you will appreciate when towing heavy.

I appreciate all the feedback. And I know I would probably be better served with a 3/4 ton, but as much as the 150 will tow, I couldn't justify the expense of a 250. I will definitely have to watch the weights. My Harley is about 850 ready to roll. And while it wont always be with me, I would say 80% of the time we will take the TH out it will be there. Might have to get a quad or 2 for the other 20%.

The other trailers I mentioned are just too small for us and the kids. My wife and girls are all amazons and trying to cram us all into a 19 or 21' trailer would be suicide on my part.
