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 Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-48 for more

information. Then be sure you don’t go over the GVW

limit for your vehicle, or the GAWR, 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 distribution 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 will need the right hitch.
