7,100 lb. (3,220 kg) GVWR
– 6,200 lb. (2,812 kg) GVW
= 900 lb. (408 kg) Available for tongue/
king pin weight
15,100 lb. (6,848 kg) GCWR
– 6,200 lb. (2,812 kg) GVW
= 8,900 lb. (4,036 kg) Capacity available for
towing
900 lb. (408 kg) Available tongue weight
/ 8,900 lb. (4,036 kg) Available capacity
= 10 % tongue weight
The available towing capacity may be less than
the maximum towing capacity due to the passen-
ger and cargo load in the vehicle.
Remember to keep trailer tongue weight be-
tween 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 ob-
tain the proper tongue load. Do not exceed the
maximum tongue weight specification shown in
the “Towing load/specification” 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.
