For a 16000# trailer, the pin pressure on the hitch would be 3200# max as the pin weight should fall between 10-20%. Soooo, I can only say that you would have to be way nose low to get up to 4000#. john
My last three 5ers were 22.5% - 24.1% - my current one is 21.6 and those are all on the CAT scales. I don't think you will find many 5ers over 10,000 will less than 20%. Travel Trailers run from 10 to 15% with 12% being about right and the recommended 5er percentage is between 15% and 25%.
