It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For

example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside

temperature and how much your vehicle is used to

pull a trailer are all important. And, it can also depend

on any special equipment that you have on your

vehicle.

You can ask your retailer for trailering information

or advice.

Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight

to measure because it affects the total or gross weight

of your vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)

includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you

may carry in it, and the people who will be riding in

the vehicle. If you have a lot of options, equipment,

passengers or cargo in your vehicle, it will reduce

the tongue weight your vehicle can carry, which will

also reduce the trailer weight your vehicle can tow.

And if you tow a trailer, you must add the tongue load

to the GVW because your vehicle will be carrying

that weight, too. See Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-49

for more information about your vehicle’s maximum

load capacity.

If you’re using a weight-carrying hitch, the trailer

tongue (A) should weigh 10 percent of the total loaded

trailer weight (B). If you’re using a weight-distributing

hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 12 percent of

the total loaded trailer weight (B).

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.
