But let’s say your speciﬁc vehicle is equipped with some

of the latest options and you have a front seat

passenger and two rear seat passengers with some

luggage and gear in the vehicle as well. You may add

300 lbs (136 kg) to the front axle weight and 400 lbs

(181 kg) to the rear axle weight. Your vehicle now

weighs:

Weight is still below 7,200 lbs (3 266 kg) and you may

think that you should subtract 700 additional pounds

(318 kg) from your trailering capacity to stay within

GCWR limits. Your maximum trailer would only be

7,800 lbs (3 538 kg). You may go further and think you

must limit tongue weight to less than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) to

avoid exceeding GVWR. But, you must still consider the

effect on the rear axle. Because your rear axle now

weighs 3,100 lbs (1 406 kg), you can only put 900 lbs

(408 kg) on the rear axle without exceeding RGAWR.

The effect of tongue weight is about 1.5 times the actual

weight. Dividing the 900 lbs (408 kg) by 1.5 leaves you

with being able to handle only 600 lbs (272 kg) of tongue

weight.

Since tongue weight is usually at least 10 percent of

total loaded trailer weight, you can expect that the

largest trailer your vehicle can properly handle is

6,000 lbs (2 721 kg).

It is important that you make sure your vehicle does not

exceed any of its ratings — GCWR, GVWR, RGAWR,

Maximum Trailer Rating or Tongue Weight. The

only way to be sure you are not exceeding any of these

ratings is to weigh your vehicle and trailer.

Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires

Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inﬂated to the upper limit

for cold tires. You’ll ﬁnd these numbers on the

Certiﬁcation label at the rear edge of the driver’s door or

see Tires on page 5-62. Then be sure you don’t go

over the GVW and rear axle limits for your vehicle,

including the weight of the trailer tongue.

If you use a weight distributing hitch, make sure you

don’t go over the rear axle limit before you apply

the weight distributing spring bars.

Hitches

It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment.

Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are

a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch.
