Trailer And Tongue Weight

Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the
weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10%
to 15% of the Gross Trailer Weight (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 maximum tongue weight
stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch.
