2. Subtract the actual vehicle weight from the
GCWR. The remaining amount is the
available maximum towing capacity.
To determine the Gross Trailer Weight, weigh
your trailer on a scale with all equipment and
cargo, that are normally in the trailer when it is
towed. Make sure the Gross trailer weight is not
more than the Gross Trailer Weight Rating
shown on the trailer and is not more than the
calculated available maximum towing capacity.
Also weigh the front and rear axles on the scale
to make sure the Front Gross Axle Weight and
Rear Gross Axle Weight are not more than
Front Gross Axle Weight and Rear Gross Axle
Weight on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certifica-
tion label. The cargo in the trailer and vehicle
may need to be moved or removed to meet the
specified ratings.
Example:
.
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) as weighed
on a scale - including passengers, cargo and
hitch - 6,350 lb. (2,880 kg).
. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
from F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification
label - 7,250 lb. (3,289 kg).
.
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
from “Towing Load/Specification” chart -
15,100 lb. (4,128 kg).
.
Maximum Trailer towing capacity from
“Towing Load/Specification” chart - 9,100
lb (4,128 kg).

Available capacity
= 10 % tongue weight
The available towing capacity may be less than
the maximum towing capacity due to the
passenger and cargo load in the vehicle.
Remember to keep trailer tongue weight
between 10 - 15% of the trailer weight or
within the trailer tongue load specification
recommended by the trailer manufacturer. If
the tongue load becomes excessive, rearrange
the cargo to obtain the proper tongue load. Do
not exceed the maximum tongue weight speci-
fication shown in the “Towing load/specifica-
tion” chart even if the calculated available
tongue weight is greater than 15%. If the
calculated tongue weight is less than 10%,
reduce the total trailer weight to match the
available tongue weight.
Always verify that available capacities are
within the required ratings.

WARNING
The towing capacities provided in this manual
are for general reference only. The safe towing
capacity of your vehicle is affected by dealer

Do not exceed the published maximum towing
capacity, or the GCWR or the GVWR shown
