Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming the

driver and one passenger are in the towing vehicle and it

has all the required trailering equipment. The weight of

additional equipment, passengers and cargo in the

towing vehicle must be subtracted from the above

maximum trailer weights.

You can ask your dealer for our trailering information or

advice, or you can write us at the address listed in your

Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet.

Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important

weight to measure because it affects the total or gross

weight of your vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight

(GVW) includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any

cargo you may carry in it, and the people who will be

riding in the vehicle. And if you will tow a trailer, you

must add the tongue load to the GVW because your

vehicle will be carrying that weight, too. See “Loading

Your Vehicle” in the Index for more information about

your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.

If you’re using your platform hitch as a weight-carrying

hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 10 percent of

the total loaded trailer weight (B). If you’re using your

platform hitch as a weight

-distributing hitch, the trailer

tongue (A) should weigh 12 percent of the total loaded

trailer weight (B).

After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and

then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are

proper. If they aren’t, you may be able to get them right

simply by moving some items around in the trailer.
