Tongue load
Gross Axle Weight
Gross Axle Weight
The tongue load is an important weight to
measure because it affects the total Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) of your vehicle.
The trailer tongue should weigh a maxi-
mum of 10% of the total loaded trailer
weight, within the limits of the maximum
trailer tongue load permissible.
After you've loaded your trailer, weigh
the trailer and then the tongue, separate-
ly, to see if the weights are proper. If they
aren't, you may be able to correct them
simply by moving some items around in
the trailer.

WARNING
Take the following precautions:
• Never load a trailer with more weight
in the rear than in the front. The front
should be loaded with approximately
60% of the total trailer load; the rear
should be loaded with approximately
40% of the total trailer load.
• Never exceed the maximum weight
limits of the trailer or trailer towing
equipment. Improper loading can
result in damage to your vehicle and/
or personal injury. Check weights
and loading at a commercial scale or
highway patrol office equipped with
scales.
