Trailer tongue load

● A recommended tongue load varies in accordance with the types

of trailers or towing as described below.

● In order to ensure the recommended values shown below, the

trailer must be loaded by referring to the following instructions.

The trailer cargo load should be distributed so that the tongue

load is 9 to 11 % of the total trailer weight, not exceeding 650 lb.

(294 kg). (Tongue load/Total trailer weight  100 = 9 to 11 %)

If the gross trailer weight is over 2000 lbs. (900 kg), it is neces-

sary to use a sway control device with sufficient capacity.

If the gross trailer weight is over 5000 lbs. (2268 kg), it is neces-

sary to use a weight distributing hitch with sufficient capacity.

If using a weight distributing hitch when towing, keep your vehicle

level with the ground.

The total trailer weight and tongue load can be measured with

platform scales found at a highway weighing stations, building

supply companies, trucking companies, junk yards, etc.
