Note:   Do not exceed the maximum loaded trailer weight for your vehicle configuration listed in the chart below.

Note:   Make sure you take the trailer frontal area into consideration, do not exceed 20 feet² (1.86 meters²). Towing a trailer that exceeds this frontal area will reduce the performance and fuel economy of your vehicle when towing. Select a trailer that has a rounded front and an aerodynamic design.

Note:   For high altitude operation, reduce the gross combined weight by 2% per 1000 feet (300 meters) starting at the 1000 foot (300 meter) elevation point.

Note:   Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a specified weight. Be sure to check state regulations for this specified weight. The maximum loaded trailer weights listed may be limited to this specified weight, as the vehicle’s electrical system may not include the wiring connector needed to activate electric trailer brakes.Calculating the Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight

  1. Start with the gross combined weight rating for your vehicle. See the following chart.
  2. Subtract all of the following that apply to your vehicle:Vehicle curb weightHitch hardware weight including: draw bar, tow ball, locks and weight distributing hardwareDriver and any passengers weightPayload, cargo or luggage weightAftermarket equipment weight.
  3. This equals the maximum loaded trailer weight for this combination.

Note:   The trailer tongue load is an integral part of the payload of the vehicle. Reduce the total payload by the final trailer tongue weight.

Note:   Consult an authorized dealer to determine the maximum trailer weight allowed for your vehicle if you are not sure.
