Loading a trailer

When loading a trailer, you should observe that neither the permissible GTW, nor the GVWR are exceeded.

Maximum permissible values are listed on the safety compliance certification labels for the vehicle and for the trailer to be towed. The lowest value listed must be selected when determining how the vehicle and trailer are loaded.

Load the trailer in such a manner that it has a tongue weight (TW) of 10% of the GTW.

The tongue weight at the hitch ball must be added to the GVW to prevent exceeding your Sprinter tow vehicle's rear GAWR.
