HONDA 2012 Accord Crosstour - Manual (Page 321)

To achieve a proper tongue load,
start by loading 60% of the load
toward the front of the trailer and
40% toward the rear, then re-adjust
the load as needed.
The maximum allowable weight of
the vehicle, all occupants, all
accessories, all cargo, and the
tongue load is:
The maximum allowable weight at
the vehicle axles is:
The best way to confirm that all
loads are within limits is to
check them at a public scale. For
public scales in your area, check
your local phone book, or
contact your trailer dealer or
rental agency for assistance.
If you cannot get to a public scale,
you can estimate the total trailer
weight by adding the weight of
your trailer (as quoted by the
manufacturer) with everything
in or on the trailer.
If you normally pull the same load
each time you tow a trailer, you can
use a suitable scale or a special
tongue load gauge to check the
tongue load the first time you set up
a towing combination (a fully loaded
vehicle and trailer), then recheck
the tongue load whenever the
conditions change.
