Trailer And Tongue Weight
Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in the front of the
trailer. This places 10% of the GTW on the tow hitch of your
vehicle. Loads balanced over the wheels or heavier in the rear
can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side which will
cause loss of control of the vehicle and trailer. Failure to load
trailers heavier in front is the cause of many trailer collisions.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your
trailer hitch.
Consider the following items when computing the
weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
• The tongue weight of the trailer
• The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment
put in or on your vehicle
• The weight of the driver and all passengers
