Hi all,
We continually have a lot of Questions about Noseweights, with the general advice being "as heavy as possible within the limits of the Cars maximum permissable (75 - 100kg)" - magazine articles also add comments like 'with a generous 120kg hitch load capacity this car.....'
Now with a Single Axle I totally understand the advice, however I tow a twin axle with a normal noseweight of about 90kg - My question is surely that as you increase the noseweight you increase the Axle load on the Front Axle, and reduce it on the Rear axle ??
Is this too insignificant to worry about, or should we be thinking more about this rather than just 'loading the nose'??
I am sure someone will have a definitive answer.
Jon
