Trailer And Tongue Weight

Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in
the front of the trailer. This places 10% to 15% of the
Gross Trailer Weight (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 trailer tongue weight
stamped on your bumper or 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/luggage or
equipment put in or on your vehicle.

•

The weight of the driver and all passengers.
