Trailer And Tongue Weight

Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in

the front of the trailer. This places 10% to 15% of the

Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your

vehicle. Loads balanced over the wheels or heavier in the

rear can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side

which will cause loss of control of the vehicle and trailer.

Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of

many trailer collisions.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on

your bumper or trailer hitch.
