*Calculated with SAE J2807 method.Calculating the Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight for Your Vehicle
- Start with the gross combined weight rating for your vehicle model and axle ratio. See the previous charts.
- Subtract all of the following that apply to your vehicle:
- Vehicle curb weight
- Hitch hardware weight, such as a draw bar, ball, locks or weight distributing hardware
- Driver weight
- Passenger(s) weight
- Payload, cargo and luggage weight
- Aftermarket equipment weight.
This equals the maximum loaded trailer weight for this combination.
Note: The trailer tongue load is considered part of the payload for your 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.
