Ford Transit Owners Manual

Your vehicle may tow a trailer. The maximum loaded trailer weight must be less than or equal to the maximum loaded trailer weight listed for your vehicle configuration on the following chart.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 reduces 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 300 m starting at the 300 m 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

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:   Remember to account for the trailer tongue weight as part of your vehicle load when calculating the total vehicle weight.

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