Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (A) of any
trailer is very important because
it is also part of the vehicle weight.
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
includes the curb weight of the
vehicle, any cargo carried in it, and
the people who will be riding in the
vehicle as well as trailer tongue
3 765 kg (8,300 lbs)
3 674 kg (8,100 lbs)
3 629 kg (8,000 lbs)
3 493 kg (7,700 lbs)
weight. Vehicle options, equipment,
passengers and cargo in the vehicle
reduce the amount of tongue weight
the vehicle can carry, which will also
reduce the trailer weight the vehicle
can tow. See
about the vehicle's maximum load
capacity.
