Trailer And Tongue Weight

Always 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 your vehicle.

Refer to the “Tire and Loading Information” placard for the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo for your vehicle.
