Reply to "Calculating correct tongue loading for trailering a Roadster"

Percentage to tongue weight is just a ball park recommendation...try this : With the trailer hitched to the tow vehicle and not loaded measure the tongue height. "Load the car on the trailer positioning it so the tongue is 1-1/2" lower than first measured, secure and go for a ride and see how it feels , reposition forward or aft until you are satisfied with the steering and braking then mark that position on the trailer deck. Be sure to take into consideration extra cargo and passenger weight in the tow vehicle
