Trailer and Tongue Weight
Alw ays load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in
the front of the trailer. This places 10% to 15% of the
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of you r
vehicle. Load s balanced over the wheels or heavier in the
rear can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side
which will cause loss of control of vehicle and trailer.
Failu re to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of
many trailer accidents.
