hitch - 6,200 lb. (2812 kg).
● Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) from
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label -

7,100 lb. (3221 kg) GVWR
– 6,200 lb. (2812 kg) GVW
= 900 lb. (408 kg) Available for tongue/
king pin weight
15,100 lb. (6849 kg) GCWR
– 6,200 lb. (2812 kg) GVW
= 8,900 lb. (4036 kg) Capacity available for
towing
900 lb. (408 kg) Available tongue weight
/ 8,900 lb. (4036 kg) Available capacity
= 10 % tongue weight
The available towing capacity may be less than
the maximum towing capacity due to the passen-
ger and cargo load in the vehicle.
Remember to keep trailer tongue weight be-
tween 10 - 15% of the trailer weight. If the tongue
load becomes excessive, rearrange the cargo to
obtain the proper tongue load. Do not exceed the
10 - 15% tongue weight specification even if the
calculated available tongue weight is greater
than 15%. If the calculated tongue weight is less
than 10% , reduce the total trailer weight to
match the available tongue weight.
Always verify that available capacities are within
the required ratings.
