The tongue weight of a trailer should generally be between 10% to 15% of the total trailer weight. This range helps ensure stability and safe towing, preventing issues like swaying or fishtailing. For example, if a trailer weighs 5,000 pounds, the tongue weight should ideally be between 500 to 750 pounds. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
