Tongue weight of a trailer should be what percent of the cross trailer weight rating?

The tongue weight of a trailer should typically be between 10% to 15% of the trailer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This range helps ensure stability and safe towing by providing adequate weight distribution on the tow vehicle's hitch. Maintaining proper tongue weight reduces the risk of trailer sway and improves handling during transport. Always consult your vehicle and trailer specifications for precise guidelines.
