Hey Bob, sorry for the confusion but the overall trailer weight capacity of the Sleeve Lock A Frame Coupler part # CA-5296-B that you referenced is 12,500 lbs and the tongue weight capacity is 1,875 lbs.
Tongue weight is the amount of vertical weight the coupler can support so just the weight pressing down on the hitch ball basically.
