    So I am towing a car and stopped at a hotel for the night. There is right much weight on the tongue and the truck sags a little in the back. Should I take that weight off the tongue overnight? I did to be safe, but didn't know if it was necessary.

    Btw, the truck handles beautiful! It is at about 6129 lbs of tow weight!

    I guess that's a lot of weight, but I leave my loaded V-nose snowmobile trailer hooked up for entire weeks at a time and have never noticed a problem.
