Weight of the Trailer Tongue The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight to measure because it affects the total gross weight of the vehicle. 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.

Hitches Because the rear axle now weighs 3,100 lbs (1 406 kg), It is important to have the correct hitch equipment. 900 lbs (408 kg) can be put on the rear axle without Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are exceeding RGAWR.
