Weight
of
the
Trailer
Tongue
The tongue
load
(A)
of
any trailer
is
an important
weight to measure because it affects the total capacity
weight
of
your vehicle. The capacity weight includes the
curb weight
of
the vehicle,
any
cargo
you
may
carry
in
it, and the people who will
be
riding in the vehicle. And
if
you will tow
a
trailer,
you
must subtract
the
tongue
load
from
your
vehicle’s capacity weight because your
vehicle will be
carrying
that weight,
too.
See
“Loading
Your Vehicle” in the Index for more information about
your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.

B
If
you’re using a weight-carrying hitch, the trailer
tongue
(A)
should weigh
10
percent
of
the total loaded
trailer weight
(€3).
If
you have a weight-distributing
hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh
12
percent
of
the total loaded trailer weight
(€3).
After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh
the
trailer
and
then the tongue, separately, to
see
if
the
weights
are
proper.
If
they
aren’t,
you
may be able to get them
right
simply by moving some items around in the trailer.
