scale with the tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in the trailer, if
necessary, to reduce the weight on hitch. If you are carrying cargo and
towing a trailer, include the tongue weight in the maximum vehicle load


Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to the center of the vehicle as


Tie down cargo securely in the trailer. Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
