If you’re using
a
“dead-weight” hitch, the trailer tongue
(A)
should weigh
10%
of
the total loaded trailer weight
(B).
If
you
have a
“weight-distributing” hitch, the trailer tongue
(A)
should weigh
12%
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 limit for cold tires. You’ll find
these numbers on the Certification label
on
the driver’s door lock pillar or
see “Tire Loading” in the Index. Then be sure you don’t go over the
GVW
limit for your vehicle, including the weight
of
the
trailer tongue.
Hitches
It’s important
to
have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks
going by, and rough roads are a
few
reasons
why
you’ll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow:
0
If you’ll be pulling a trailer that, when loaded, will weigh more than
2,000
pounds
(900
kg), be sure to use a properly mounted,
weight-distributing hitch and sway control of the proper size. This
equipment is very important for proper vehicle loading and good
handling when you’re driving.
0
Will you have
to
make any holes in the body of your vehicle when you
install
a
trailer hitch? If you
do,
then be sure to seal the holes later
when you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon
monoxide
(CO)
from your exhaust can get into your vehicle (see
“Carbon Monoxide” in the Index). Dirt and water can, too.
