Calculating the Maximum
Loaded Trailer Weight for Your
Vehicle
1. Start with the gross combined
weight rating for your vehicle
model and axle ratio. See the
previous chart.
2. Subtract all of the following
that apply to your vehicle:
Vehicle curb weight
Hitch hardware weight, such as
a draw bar, ball, locks or weight
distributing hardware
Driver weight
Passenger(s) weight
Payload, cargo and luggage
weight
Aftermarket equipment weight.
This equals the maximum loaded
trailer weight for this combination.
Note: The trailer tongue load is
considered part of the payload for
your vehicle. Reduce the total
payload by the final trailer tongue
weight.
Note: Consult an authorized dealer
to determine the maximum trailer
weight allowed for your vehicle if
you are not sure.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
Follow these guidelines for safe
towing:
Do not tow a trailer until you
drive your vehicle at least 1000
miles (1600 kilometers).
Consult your local motor
vehicle laws for towing a trailer.
See the instructions included
with towing accessories for the
proper installation and
adjustment specifications.
