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. If you

have a lot of options, equipment, passengers, or cargo in

your vehicle, it will reduce the tongue weight your vehicle

can carry, which will also reduce the trailer weight your

vehicle can tow. And if you will 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 4-35 for more information about your vehicle’s

maximum load capacity.

If you are using a weight-carrying or a weight-distributing

hitch, the trailer tongue weight (A) should be 10 percent

to 15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight (B).

Do not exceed the maximum allowable tongue weight

for your vehicle.

After you have loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and

then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are

proper. If they are not, you may be able to get them right

simply by moving some items around in the trailer.
