[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 534867, member: 56140"] The tongue weight should be about 10% of the trailer weight. A 15% tongue weight will be better to tow. Any more then that and you are putting undue stress on the tow vehicle. Some trailers go with a 20% tongue weight. You best off with stickiug to the 12% to 15% tongue weight. Too heavy behind the axle, and the trailer will sway. I was almost killed by a improperly loaded trailer. Forunatly for me, I was able to put the vehicle in the center medion and not over the guard rail and down the hill. Tom [/QUOTE]
