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 5-55. 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.

Weight-Distributing Hitches and Weight

Carrying Hitches

When using a weight-distributing hitch, the hitch must

be adjusted so that the distance (A) remains the

same both before and after coupling the trailer to the

tow vehicle.
