Is there a formula for calculating tongue weight based on the actual weight of the cargo and water?
I'm wondering what percentage of the used portion of the "Net Carrying Capacity" should be added to the A/S published unladen hitch weight to arrive at a Tongue Weight. I need that figure to add to occupant and cargo weight in order to see how close I am to the max payload of my tow vehicle.
Also, should the hitch and weight distribution system weights be assigned to tow vehicle or to the trailer?
I'm also interested in how the weight distribution system setup might affect the payload calculations of the tow vehicle and the trailer? Is this actually important?
My 2013 International 19 has a "Hitch Weight (w/LP & w/o options, water & cargo)" of 550. A "Unit Base Weight w/LP & w/o options, water & cargo) of 3823. "Gross Vehicle Weight Rating" of 4500. "Net Carrying Capacity" of 677.
