The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight to
measure because it affects the total capacity weight
of your vehicle.

load from your vehicle’s capacity weight because your vehicle will be I
carrying that weight, too. See “Loading Your Vehicle’’ in the Index
for more information about your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.
