How to Measure Tongue Weight

Product Description

There are a few different methods that can be used as a trailer tongue weight calculator, including using a tongue weight scale, using a bathroom scale or using a vehicle scale. Tongue weight is the downward force exerted at the vehicle-trailer coupling point when your trailer is hooked up for towing. In general, you want the tongue weight to be about 10-15% of the gross trailer weight.
