asked by: Daniel L
Helpful Expert Reply:
The trailer's tongue weight will depend on how the trailer is loaded and should be in the 10-15% of the total weight of the trailer. The Apogee Optimax Folding Utility Trailer - 8foot Long x 4foot wide - 1,984 lbs # AT54FR has a GVWR of 1,984-lbs so it at most the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded properly would be 297-lbs; anything more than that and you'll want to rearrange the trailer.
It might be a good idea to get yourself a tongue weight scale like the etrailer # e99044 to allow you to keep an accurate reading on how you load the trailer before travel.
