In point of fact the overriding principle remains the same. You want to put as much of the weight as possible on the towing vehicle, but yes, as I said, the strength and nature of the car and the hitch limits that.
Not quite. Cars and trailers are connected behind the rear axle.

Trailers on a Semi are connected directly over (or slightly to the front of) the drive axles. Which, as you would know, helps eliminate the 'tail wagging the dog' effect.
