Trailer Weight Ratings

Trailer Weight Ratings

WARNING: The maximum permitted tongue weight of the trailer drawbar on the trailer hitch ball head must not be exceeded. See Vehicle Weights.

For your safety, Fisker recommends always using the maximum permitted tongue weight, but do not exceed this weight. Having the tongue weight too low affects the vehicle's handling.

Use a tongue weight scale, a bathroom scale, or a public weigh station to determine the tongue weight.

Load distribution

Distributing the cargo in the trailer correctly helps to achieve the maximum permitted tongue weight.

The following tips for maintaining a proper load balance can help to stabilize the trailer and minimize sway during driving:

  • The vehicle should always carry the heaviest possible load, and the trailer should have the lightest possible load. Store cargo in the vehicle whenever possible.

  • Distribute the trailer’s load so that the heaviest objects are as close to the axle as possible.

  • Secure all cargo so that objects do not shift in transit.

  • Utilize the maximum permitted tongue weight if possible.
