Weight Distribution
Frontal Area
12 sq ft (1.11 sq m)
12 sq ft (1.11 sq m)
CAUTION!
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.
Consider the following items when computing
the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
The tongue weight of the trailer.

The weight of any other type of cargo or

equipment put in or on your vehicle.
The weight of the driver and all passengers.


NOTE:
Remember that everything put into or on the
trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options or
dealer-installed options must be considered as
part of the total load on your vehicle. Refer to
the "Tire And Loading Information" placard for
the maximum combined weight of occupants
and cargo for your vehicle.
