Weight of the trailer
Weight of the trailer tongue
The  trailer  tongue  should  weigh  a
maximum 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 trailer 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  mov-
ing some items around in the trailer.

cle.  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.
It depends  on  how you  plan to  use
your trailer. For example, speed, alti-
tude, road  grades, outside tempera-
ture  and  how often  your  vehicle  is
used to pull a trailer are all important.
The  ideal   trailer   weight  can   also
depend  on  any  special   equipment
that you have on your vehicle.
