Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on
your trailer hitch.
Weight Distribution
Consider the following items when computing the weight
on the front/rear axles of the vehicle:

The trailer tongue weight of the trailer.

The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put
in or on your vehicle.

The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE:
Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds
to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional
factory-installed options, or authorized dealer-installed
options, must be considered as part of the total load on
your vehicle. Refer to the Tire And Loading Information
Placard located on the driver’s door pillar for the
maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo for
your vehicle.
