your car and the trailer or vehicle you

Tongue loads can be increased or
decreased by re-distributing the load
in the trailer.
This can be verified by checking the
total weight of the loaded trailer and
then checking the load on the tongue.
NOTE:
1.
Never load the trailer with more
weight in the back than in the
front. About 60% of the trailer
load should be in the front half
on the trailer and the remaining
40%
in the rear.
