If you’re using a weigh-carrying hitch or a

weight-distributing hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should

weigh 10 to 15 percent of the total loaded trailer

weight (B).

After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and

then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights

are proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to get them

right simply 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

Tire-Loading Information label, See Loading Your

Vehicle on page 4-33. Then be sure you don’t go over

the GVW limit for your vehicle, including the weight

of the trailer tongue.

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. Here

are some rules to follow:

• The rear bumper on your vehicle is not intended for

hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or other

bumper-type hitches to it. Use only a frame-mounted

hitch that does not attach to the bumper.

• Will you have to make any holes in the body of your

vehicle when you install a trailer hitch? If you do, then

be sure to seal the holes later when you remove the

hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon monoxide

(CO) from your exhaust can get into your vehicle.

See Engine Exhaust on page 2-29. Dirt and water

can, too.

Safety Chains

You should always attach chains between your vehicle

and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the

tongue of the trailer so that the tongue will not drop to

the road if it becomes separated from the hitch.

Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the

hitch manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching

safety chains and do not attach them to the bumper.

Always leave just enough slack so you can turn

with your rig. And, never allow safety chains to drag on

the ground.

Trailer Brakes

Does your trailer have its own brakes? Be sure to read

and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so

you’ll be able to install, adjust and maintain them

properly.
