towing package does not exceed
the GVWR but exceeds the
GAWR.
Tongue loads can be increased or
decreased by redistributing 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
4
0% in the rear.
