Trailer Weight Ratings

When towing a trailer, the weight of the
loaded vehicle and trailer must be within
the weight ratings for the vehicle.

.

GCWR: Gross Combined Weight Rating

.

GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

.

Maximum Trailer Weight Rating

.

Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight

The only way to be sure the weight is not
exceeding any of these ratings is to weigh
the tow vehicle and trailer combination,
fully loaded for the trip, getting individual
weights for each of these items.

Warning

You and others could be seriously injured
or killed if the trailer is too heavy or the
trailer brakes are inadequate for the load.
The vehicle may be damaged, and the
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.

Only tow a trailer if all the steps in this
section have been followed. Ask your
dealer for advice and information about
towing a trailer.

Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)

GCWR is the total allowable weight of the
completely loaded vehicle and trailer
including any fuel, passengers, cargo,
equipment, and accessories. Do not exceed
the GCWR for your vehicle. The GCWR for
the vehicle is on the Tow Rating Chart
following.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

. When calculating the GVWR

with a trailer attached, the trailer tongue
weight must be included as part of the
weight the vehicle is carrying.

Maximum Trailer Weight Rating

The maximum trailer weight rating is
calculated assuming the tow vehicle has a
driver, a front seat passenger, and all
required trailering equipment. Weight of
additional optional equipment, passengers,
and cargo in the tow vehicle must be
subtracted from the trailer weight rating.

Use the tow rating chart to determine how
much the trailer can weigh, based on the
vehicle model, powertrain and trailering
options.
