Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight

to measure because it affects the total or gross weight

of your vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)

includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo you

may carry in it, and the people who will be riding in

the vehicle. If you have a lot of options, equipment,

passengers or cargo in your vehicle, it will reduce the

tongue weight your vehicle can carry, which will

also reduce the trailer weight your vehicle can tow. And

if you will tow a trailer, you must add the tongue load

to the GVW because your vehicle will be carrying

that weight, too. See Loading Your Vehicle for more

information about your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.

The trailer tongue weight (A) should be 10 percent to

15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight, up to a

maximum or 600 lbs (272 kg) with a weight carrying hitch.

The trailer tongue weight (A) should be 10 percent to

15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight, up to a

maximum of 1,000 lbs (453 kg) for the 1500 series and up

to a maximum of 1,500 lbs (680 kg) for the 2500 series

with a weight distributing hitch.

Do not exceed the maximum allowable tongue weight

for your vehicle. Choose the shortest hitch extension

that will position the hitch ball closest to the vehicle.

This will help reduce the effect of trailer tongue weight

on the rear axle.
