Towing a trailer with too light or too heavy of a tongue weight can be dangerous and result in an accident. Light tongue weight can cause the trailer to suddenly sway violently and cause a loss of control. Heavy tongue weight can cause unnecessary squat in the rear of the tow vehicle and raise the front of the tow vehicle up or cause tire failure. These can result in loss of tow vehicle steering and breaking capabilities and can cause a in loss of control and accidents.

To be safe while towing, the trailer tongue weight needs to be within the towing capacities of the tow vehicle, the receiver hitch, and between 10 -15% of the total trailer weight. The FLASH SCALE is the perfect tool to balance your trailer load with confidence.
