Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight

to measure because it affects the total or gross weight

of your vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)

includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you

may carry in it, and the people who will be riding in

the vehicle. And if you tow a trailer, you must add the

tongue load to the GVW because your vehicle will

be carrying that weight, too. See Loading Your Vehicle

on page 4-29 for more information about your

vehicle’s maximum load capacity.

If you’re using a weight-carrying hitch or a

weight-distributing hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should

weigh 10 to 15 percent of the total loaded trailer

weight (B).

After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then

the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper. If

they aren’t, you may be able to get them right simply by

moving some items around in the trailer.

Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires

Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inﬂated to the upper limit

for cold tires. You’ll ﬁnd these numbers on the

Tire-Loading Information label, See Loading Your

Vehicle on page 4-29. Then be sure you don’t go over

the GVW limit for your vehicle, including the weight

of the trailer tongue.
