Trailer Tongue Load

The tongue load (tongue weight at the hitch ball) of any

trailer is an important weight to measure because it affects

the load you can carry in your vehicle. If a trailer is towed,

the tongue load must be added to the weight of all

occupants riding and any cargo you are carrying in the

vehicle to prevent exceeding your Sprinter tow vehicle’s

rear GAWR. The tongue load typically is between 10 %

and 15 % of the trailer weight and everything loaded in it.

For example, if the trailer tongue load equals 140 lbs. and

the determined available cargo/luggage and trailer tongue

weight equals 750 lbs., the amount of available cargo and

luggage load capacity is 610 lbs. (750 – 140 = 610 lbs.)
