The formula to calculate the Trailer Gain (G) is:
\[ \text{G} = \left( \frac{\text{TW}}{\text{TC}} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Trailer gain is a measure of how much of a vehicle’s towing capacity is being used by the trailer weight. It is expressed as a percentage and is important for ensuring that a vehicle is not overloaded, which can affect handling, braking, and overall safety. Understanding trailer gain helps in selecting the appropriate vehicle for towing and in maintaining safe towing practices.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{G} = \left( \frac{3000}{5000} \right) \times 100 = 60 \]
The Trailer Gain (G) is 60%.
