9-66 Driving and Operating Ask your dealer for trailering information or advice, or write us at our Customer Assistance Offices, See Customer Assistance Offices on page 13-3. Weight of the Trailer Tongue The tongue load (A) of any trailer is very important because it is also part of the vehicle weight. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo carried in it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle as well as trailer tongue weight. Vehicle options, equipment, passengers and cargo in the vehicle reduce the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can carry, which will also reduce the trailer weight the vehicle can tow. See Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-15 for more information about the vehicle's maximum load capacity. Trailer tongue weight (A) should be 10 percent to 15 percent of the loaded trailer weight (B) up to the maximums for vehicle series and hitch type.
