Tp-1 the tongue weight of a trailer should be what percent of the gross trailer weight rating (gtwr)?

THE TONGUE WEIGHT OF A TRAILER SHOULD BE ABOUT 15% OF THE GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT RATING (GTWR).

Explanation:

The tongue weight of a trailer refers to the downward force that is applied to the point, where a trailer is hitched to another vehicle for the purpose of towing.

In order for a vehicle to tow a trailer successfully, the tongue weight must not be more than 15% (The acceptable tongue weight is between 9 and 15%) of the gross trailer weight (GTW).

It is very important that the tongue weight should be carefully calculated, this is because if the tongue weight is less than what is should be, then the downward force applied at the hitch point will be small and this can make the trailer to overturn when it is been towed. If the tongue value is too high, the steering of the tow vehicle will be negatively affected and the tires will be dragging during driving.
