1Calculated with SAE J2807 method.2Vehicles with the gross vehicle weight rating of 11,000lbs (4,990kg).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.
Note: Make sure to take into consideration trailer frontal area. Vehicles equipped with the Trailer Tow Package or the Heavy Duty Payload Package should not exceed 55 ft² (5.1 m²) trailer frontal area.
Note: Exceeding this limitation may significantly reduce the performance of your towing vehicle. Selecting a trailer with a low aerodynamic drag and rounded front design helps optimize performance and fuel economy.
Note: For high altitude operation, reduce the gross combined weight by 2% per 1000 ft (300 m) starting at the 1000 ft (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 trailer weights listed may be limited to this specified weight, as your vehicle’s electrical system may not include the wiring connector needed to use electric trailer brakes.Your vehicle may tow a trailer provided the maximum trailer weight is less than or equal to the maximum trailer weight listed for your vehicle configuration on the following charts.
