Weight Distribution
Easytow recommends between 5% - 10% of the complete towing package weight should be on your
tow bar, i.e., if your complete towing package weighs 1,000 kg there should be between 50 and 100
kg weight on your tow ball. Always check manufacturers max load recommendations stamped on
your vehicle tow bar before towing.
In conjunction with the industry ‘5-10%’ standard, you must ensure that your towing package is on
relatively level longitudinal terms – this generally relates to the tow ball height, or suspension
attributes of the towing vehicle. Excessive draw bar weight; or conversely not enough weight can
cause serious car, and trailer structural and safety issues.
An incorrect towing set up can void your warranty.
