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 on page 4-57

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 of 600 lbs. (272 kg) for the 1500 series, and

up to a maximum of 600 lbs. (272 kg) for the

2500 series 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.
