Default High Tongue Weight

Just curious if anyone is concerned about the tongue weight on the HiLos. Our 2207 has the front bed with a foam mattress and topper; (2) 30 pound gas tanks which came with the trailer. Our fresh water tank is always empty. Tongue weight for an empty trailer is 650 pounds, which seems unusually high.
We have considered trading the 30# gas tanks for 20# tanks, but don't know whether that would make a lot of difference.
We tow with a Toyota Tacoma (tow package included), but don't know if that is too much weight on the rear of the truck.
In retrospect wondering now whether towing our 1986 22ft HiLo caused the rear axle to go out on our Mercury station wagon; we were stranded in a Maine Visitor's Center for several days, while our car was being repaired. Not the best of camping memories.
