Towing a trailer – HONDA 2012 Accord Sedan User Manual
Page 330

The maximum allowable weight of
the vehicle, all occupants, all
accessories, all cargo, and the
tongue load is:
To achieve a proper tongue load,
start by loading 60% of the load
toward the front of the trailer and
40% toward the rear, then re-adjust
the load as needed.
The weight that the
tongue of a fully-loaded trailer puts
on the hitch should be approximately
10% of the total trailer weight. Too
much tongue load reduces front-tire
traction and steering control. Too
little tongue load can make the
trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
