Driving tips

The front and rear GAWR are also shown on the cer-

tification label.

To check both GVWR and GAWR and to confirm that

the total weight and weight distribution are within safe

driving limits, you should have your vehicle and trailer

weighed at a commercial weighing station.

Be sure that all cargo is firmly secured to prevent a

change in weight distribution while driving.

! Tongue load

If the trailer is loaded with more weight in the

back of trailer's axle than in the front, the load

is taken off the rear axle of the towing vehicle.

This may cause the rear wheels to skid, espe-

cially during braking or when vehicle speed is

reduced during cornering, resulting in over-

steer, spin out and/or jackknifing.
