2011 Hyundai Santa Fe Owners Manual

Driving your vehicle
The trailer  tongue should weigh  a maxi-
mum  of 10%  of  the  total loaded  trailer
weight, within the  limits of the  maximum
permissible   trailer   tongue   load.  After
you've loaded your trailer, weigh the trail-
er  and  then  the  tongue,  separately,  to
see  if  the  weights   are  proper.  If  they
aren’t, you  may be  able to correct  them
simply by  moving some items  around in
the trailer.

What  is the  maximum safe  weight  of a
trailer? It  should never weigh  more than
the  maximum  trailer  weight  with  trailer
brakes. But even that can be too heavy.
It depends on  how you plan  to use your
trailer. For example, speed, altitude, road
grades,  outside   temperature  and  how
often your vehicle is used  to pull a trailer
are all important. The  ideal trailer weight
can  also depend  on any  special  equip-
ment that you have on your vehicle.
The  tongue   load  of  any   trailer  is   an
important weight  to measure  because it
affects  the   total  gross   vehicle  weight
(GVW)   of   your   vehicle.  This   weight
includes the  curb  weight of  the vehicle,
any  cargo you  may carry  in  it, and  the
people who  will be  riding in the  vehicle.
And if you will tow a trailer, you must add
the  tongue  load  to  the  GVW  because
your  vehicle  will  also  be  carrying  that
weight.
