Driving and Operating

Use the following chart to determine how much the vehicle can weigh, based upon the vehicle model and options.

SAE J2807 Compliant

Engine

Axle Ratio

Maximum Trailer Weight

GCWR (a)

2.5L L4

4.10

1 587 kg (3,500 lb)

3 856 kg (8,500 lb)

3.6L V6

3.42

3 175 kg (7,000 lb)

5 443 kg (12,000 lb)

(a) The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle
and trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment, and conversions. The GCWR for the vehicle should not be
exceeded.

Ask your dealer for trailering
information or advice.

Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (1) of any trailer is
very important because it is also
part of the vehicle weight. The
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
includes the curb weight of the
vehicle, any cargo carried in it, and
the people who will be riding in the
vehicle as well as trailer tongue
weight. Vehicle options, equipment,
passengers and cargo in the vehicle
reduce the amount of tongue weight

the vehicle can carry, which will also
reduce the trailer weight the vehicle
can tow.

Trailer tongue weight (1) should be
10

–

15% of the loaded trailer

weight (2) up to 408 kg (900 lb).

Trailer rating may be limited by the
vehicle's ability to carry tongue
weight. Tongue weight cannot cause
the vehicle to exceed the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating) or the RGAWR (Rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating).

After loading the trailer, weigh the
trailer and then the tongue,
separately, to see if the weights are
proper. If they are not, adjustments
might be made by moving some
items around in the trailer.
