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.

After you have loaded the 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 by moving some items around in the trailer.

Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires

Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inﬂated to the upper limit

for cold tires. You’ll ﬁnd these numbers on the

Certiﬁcation label at the rear edge of the driver’s door or

see Loading Your Vehicle for more information. Then

be sure you don’t go over the GVW limit for your vehicle,

or the GAWR, including the weight of the trailer

tongue. If you use a weight distributing hitch, make sure

you don’t go over the rear axle limit before you apply

the weight distribution spring bars.

Hitches

It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment.

Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are

a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.

Weight-Distributing Hitches and Weight

Carrying Hitches

A: Body to Ground Distance

B: Front of Vehicle

When using a weight-distributing hitch, the hitch must

be adjusted so the distance (A) remains the same both

before and after coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle.
