to determine if

brakes are required based on your
trailer's 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.

A trailering information label on the
driver's side door B-pillar shows tow
rating information for your vehicle.

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
Trailering Information Label.

To check that the weight of the
vehicle and trailer are within the
GCWR for the vehicle, follow these
steps:

1. Start with the "curb weight" from

the Trailering Information Label.

2. Add the weight of the trailer loaded

with cargo and ready for the trip.

3. Add the weight of all passengers.
4. Add the weight of all cargo in the

vehicle.

5. Add the weight of hitch hardware

such as a draw bar, ball, load
equalizer bars, or sway bars.

6. Add the weight of any accessories

or aftermarket equipment added to
the vehicle.

The resulting weight cannot exceed
the GCWR value shown on the
Trailering Information Label.

The gross combined weight can also
be confirmed by weighing the vehicle
and trailer on a public scale. The
vehicle and trailer should be loaded
for the trip with passengers and cargo.
