You may be able to move the car forward or backward on the trailer if you need to fine tune it. I agree that loading anything heavy in the Camaro trunk will take weight off of the trailer tongue and probably would not be beneficial. Other things to think about are if you will have a tire rack and/or tool/storage box on the front of the trailer. That can get heavy pretty quick and it’s all on the front, so in that case you may end up moving the car as far back as it will go on the trailer. All this becomes more clear once you weigh it on the truck scales.

Got it. Thanks! I didn’t realize I could move the car forward or back a bit on the trailer. I always thought the car had to be all the way forward. I’ll be using a pretty small trailer so I don’t think I’ll be able to move it much, if any at all.
