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 charts.

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.
