Driving your vehicle
Trailer towing (for Australia, New Zealand)
Weight of the trailer
A: Tongue Load
B: Total Trailer Weight
What is the maximum safe weight
of a trailer? It should never weigh
more than the maximum trailer
weight with trailer brakes. But even
that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use
your trailer. For example, speed,
altitude, road grades, outside tem
-
perature and how often your vehicle
is used to pull a trailer are all
important. The ideal trailer weight
can also depend on any special
equipment that you have on your
vehicle.
Weight of the trailer tongue
A: Gross Axle Weight
B: Gross Vehicle Weight
The tongue load of any trailer is an
important weight to measure
because it affects the total gross
vehicle weight (GVW) of your vehi
-
cle. This weight includes the kerb
weight of the vehicle, any cargo you
may carry in it, and the people who
will be riding in the vehicle. And if
you tow a trailer, you must add the
tongue load to the GVW because
your vehicle will also be carrying
that weight.
