12460268) - 2019 - CRC - 4/18/18
DRIVING AND OPERATING 263
To check that the weight of the
vehicle and trailer are within the
GCWR for the vehicle, follow these
steps:
.
Start with the "curb weight" from
the trailering information label
.
Add the weight of the trailer
loaded with cargo and ready for
the trip
.
Add the weight of all passengers
.
Add the weight of all cargo in the
vehicle
.
Add the weight of hitch hardware
such as a draw bar, ball, load
equalizer bars, or sway bars
.
Add the weight of any accessories
or aftermarket equipment added
to the vehicle
The resulting weight cannot exceed
the GCWR value shown on the
Trailering Information Label.
The gross combined weight can also
be confirmed by weighing the vehicle
and trailer on a public scale. The
vehicle and trailer should be loaded
for the trip with passengers and cargo.
Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR)
For information about the vehicle's
maximum load capacity, see Vehicle
Load Limits 0 197. When calculating
the GVWR with a trailer attached, the
trailer tongue weight must be
included as part of the weight the
vehicle is carrying.
Maximum Trailer Weight
The maximum trailer weight rating is
calculated assuming only the driver is
in the tow vehicle and it has all the
required trailering equipment. The
weight of additional optional
equipment, passengers, and cargo in
the tow vehicle must be subtracted
from the maximum trailer weight.
Use the tow rating chart to determine
how much the trailer can weigh, based
on the vehicle model and options.
