Calculating the Maximum
Loaded Trailer Weight for Your
Vehicle
1. Start with the gross combined
weight rating for your vehicle
model and axle ratio. See the
previous chart.
2. Subtract all of the following
that apply to your vehicle:
•
Vehicle curb weight
•
Hitch hardware weight, such as
a draw bar, ball, locks or weight
distributing hardware
•
Driver weight
•
Passenger(s) weight
•
Payload, cargo and luggage
weight
•
Aftermarket equipment weight.
This equals the maximum loaded
trailer weight for this combination.
Note:
The trailer tongue load is
considered part of the payload for
your vehicle. Reduce the total
payload by the final trailer tongue
weight.
Note:
Consult an authorized dealer
to determine the maximum trailer
weight allowed for your vehicle if
you are not sure.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
WARNING
Do not exceed the lesser of your
vehicle or trailer hitch rating. Rating
will vary depending on vehicle
equipment. Vehicle stability and handling
can be impaired if your vehicle or trailer
hitch is over-loaded. Do not cut, drill, weld
or modify trailer hitches. Modifying trailer
hitches can reduce hitch rating. Serious
injury or death can result from over-loading
your vehicle or trailer hitch.
Follow these guidelines for safe towing:
•
Do not tow a trailer until you drive your
vehicle at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km).
•
Consult your local motor vehicle laws
for towing a trailer.
•
See the instructions included with
towing accessories for the proper
installation and adjustment
specifications.
