mum trailer weight ratings) refer to the following website

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 maxi-

mum tongue weight stamped on your trailer hitch.
