The best way to confirm that vehicle
and trailer weights are within limits
is to have them checked at a public
scale.
Using a suitable scale or a special
tongue load gauge, check the tongue
load the first time you set up a
towing combination (a fully-loaded
vehicle and trailer), then recheck the
tongue load whenever the conditions
change.
The maximum allowable weight of
the vehicle, all occupants, all cargo
and the tongue load is 5,665 lbs
(2,570 kg).
The maximum allowable weights
on the vehicle axles are 2,833 lbs
(1,285 kg) on the front axle, and
2,845 lbs (1,290 kg) on the rear
axle.
The maximum allowable weight of
the fully loaded vehicle and trailer
is 8,265 lbs (3,750 kg) with the
proper hitch and fluid coolers.
(See page
for information
about fluid coolers.)
