horsetrailers OFTEN use the sides of the trailer for strength. I'm not very impressed by the "frame rails" which run fore and aft. If it were mine, I'd add something, or put some sides back on.
600 pounds tongue weight is not that much. The hitch and truck should be just fine with that much.
a MINIMUM of 10 percent of the trailers weight needs to be tongue weight. A MAXIMUM of 20 percent is recommended.
You are within those guidelines.
Not enough tongue weight leads to trailer whipping and someone dead. Too much makes your truck squat, but it takes a LOT of tongue weight to affect the handling.
