According to some trailer manufacters, if you do not have a scale to check the tongue weight, an easy way to get you "in the ball park" is hook the trailer to the tow truck, park on a level surface, measure the height of the rear bumper/hitch, load the car and move if forward till the rear bumper/hitch goes down one to one and half inches........this should be very close.....take for a test drive and move the car from that point........

Once I had my car where it needed to be, I marked the position of the front tires on the trailer floor with some paint, now when loading the car, I know exactly where my front tires need to be to get everything like it needs to be for a smooth safe ride............
