Maximum Trailer Weight Rating

Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight
Rating
See Weight-Distributing Hitch
Adjustment under Towing
Equipment 0 237 to determine if
equalizer bars are required to obtain
the maximum trailer weight rating.
See Trailer Brakes under Towing
Equipment 0 237 to determine if
brakes are required based on your
trailer's weight.
The only way to be sure the weight
is not exceeding any of these
ratings is to weigh the tow vehicle
and trailer combination, fully loaded
for the trip, getting individual
weights for each of these items.

Warning
You and others could be seriously
injured or killed if the trailer is too
heavy or the trailer brakes are
inadequate for the load. The
vehicle may be damaged, and the
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Only tow a trailer if all the steps in
this section have been followed.
Ask your dealer for advice and
information about towing a trailer.
Gross Combined Weight
Rating (GCWR)
GCWR is the total allowable weight
of the completely loaded vehicle
and trailer including any fuel,
passengers, cargo, equipment, and
accessories. Do not exceed the
GCWR for your vehicle. The GCWR
for the vehicle is on the tow rating
chart later in this section.
To check that the weight of the
vehicle and trailer are within the
GCWR for the vehicle, follow these
steps:
1. Start with the "curb weight"
from the Trailering Information
label.
2. Add the weight of the trailer
loaded with cargo and ready
for the trip.
3. Add the weight of all
passengers.
