Yep... sounds like waay too much weight up front.
FWIW I operate on 5 to 7% trailer weight as ideal tow ball weight and ex-factory with the boot loaded and the tanks full my XT12 was closer to 15%.
The 10% ball weight "rule" oft quoted is american orientated with the massive trailers, tow vehicles and high speeds they do over there.
Euro/Pommy is more relevant to our speeds and vehicles IMHO and they work on more like 5%.
Interesting article here for anyone interested in real world testing etc.
