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 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 on page 307 for more information about

your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.

If you are using a weight-carrying hitch, the trailer

tongue (A) should weigh 10 to 15 percent of

the total loaded trailer weight (B).

After you have loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer

and then the tongue, separately, to see if the

weights are proper. If they are not, you may be

able to get them right simply by moving some

items around in the trailer.
