Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 36,000 lb fifth-wheel maximum is 5,400 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
