How to weigh the trailer loads using the public scale

Fully load the vehicle and trailer. An attendant who
watches the scale is needed as all occupants should
stay in the vehicle.

*: LX models

If a public scale is not available, add the estimated
weight of your cargo load to the weight of your
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer), and then
measure the tongue load with an appropriate scale or
tongue gauge or estimate it based on cargo
distribution.
