Can the trailer tongue of the TTMA-100 be made longer?
Increasing the length of the trailer tongue should not have a significant effect on the overall impact performance of the TTMA-100. Besides increasing the overall length of the TTMA-100, extending the trailer tongue should have virtually no effect on the trailer’s impact performance. However, it should be borne in mind that the tongue weight would increase with tongue length, especially if the added tongue length was used for mounting a sign or storing materials. If the user could tolerate the expected increase in vertical hitch loads, extending the tongue should not require additional crash testing. However, if the trailer’s axle had to be moved in order to keep the tongue weight down to an acceptable level, there would likely be a need for crash testing to verify the safety performance of the revised axle location.
