No matter the weight of your rig it is designed to have 20 to 25% of the gross weight on the king pin for towing stability. If you are needing this info to determine truck capability you should use 25% of the trailers MGWR as the maximum pin weight. My trailer weighs 20580 my actual pin weight is 4210 lbs..
