You Wish to Tow a Trailer. Where Would You Find The Maximum Noseweight For Your Vehicle’s Tow Hitch?

You can find the maxim noseweight for your vehicle’s tow hitch in the vehicle’s handbook. You must know how to load your trailer or caravan so the hitch exerts the appropriate downward force on the tow ball.

Do not exceed the maximum noseweight when loading your vehicle. Doing so could impact your vehicle’s handling.

What is noseweight?

The weight your caravan or trailer exerts on your towbar is called the noseweight. You can find the maximum noseweight in your vehicle’s handbook or by asking the manufacturer. The maximum noseweight for a car is usually around 45 – 75kg. And as a rule of thumb, it shouldn’t exceed more than 7% of the caravan or trailer’s total weight.
