2018 Ford Transit Owners Manual

^*Calculated with SAE J2807 method.Calculating the Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight for Your Vehicle

1. Start with the gross combined weight rating for your vehicle model and axle ratio. See the previous charts.
2. 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.
