But the effect on the rear axle must still be considered.

Because the rear axle now weighs 3,100 lbs (1 406 kg),

900 lbs (408 kg) can be put 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 only 600 lbs (272 kg) of tongue

weight that can be handled. Since tongue weight is

usually at least 10 percent of total loaded trailer weight,

expect that the largest trailer the vehicle can properly

handle is 6,000 lbs (2 721 kg).

It is important that the vehicle does not exceed any of

its ratings — GCWR, GVWR, RGAWR, Maximum Trailer

Rating or Tongue Weight. The only way to be sure it

is not exceeding any of these ratings is to weigh

the vehicle and trailer.

Total Weight on the Vehicle’s Tires

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

for cold tires. These numbers can be found on the

Tire-Loading Information label. See Loading the Vehicle

on page 5-24. Make sure not to go over the GVW

limit for the vehicle, or the GAWR, including the weight

of the trailer tongue.

Hitches

It is important to have the correct hitch equipment.

Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are

a few reasons why the right hitch is needed.

• The rear bumper on the vehicle is not intended for

hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or other

bumper-type hitches to it. Use only a

frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to the

bumper.

• Will there be any holes in the body of the vehicle

after installing a trailer hitch? If there are, then be

sure to seal the holes later when the hitch is

removed. If the holes are not sealed, deadly carbon

monoxide (CO) from exhaust can get into the

vehicle. See Engine Exhaust on page 3-38. Dirt and

water can also enter the vehicle.
