Correct answer
- CLa masa por eje del vehículo tractor.The axle mass of the towing vehicle.
The mass resting on the hitch affects the axle mass of the towing vehicle. This is because part of the trailer's weight is carried by the wheels of the towing vehicle, which can change the load on each axle. It is important to take this weight distribution into account for the stability and safety of the combination.
