Maximum Trailer Weight Rating:

Maximum weight of a trailer the

vehicle is permitted to tow. The maximum trailer weight rating is
determined by subtracting the vehicle curb weight for each
engine/transmission combination, any required option weight for trailer
towing and the weight of the driver from the GCWR for the towing
vehicle.

Maximum Trailer Weight:

Maximum weight of a trailer the loaded

vehicle (including occupants and cargo) is permitted to tow. It is
determined by subtracting the weight of the loaded trailer towing
vehicle from the GCWR for the towing vehicle.

Trailer Weight Range:

Specified weight range that the trailer must

fall within that ranges from zero to the maximum trailer weight rating.

NOTE: Remember to figure in the tongue load of your loaded trailer
when figuring the total weight.

WARNING: Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on

the certification label, this could affect vehicle handling and

cause an accident.

Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities

than the originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR

and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than

the originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

The Safety Certification Label, found on the driver’s door pillar, lists

several important vehicle weight rating limitations. Before adding any

additional equipment, refer to these limitations. If you are adding weight

to the front of your vehicle, (potentially including weight added to the

cab), the weight added should not exceed the front axle reserve capacity

(FARC). Additional frontal weight may be added to the front axle reserve

capacity provided you limit your payload in other ways (i.e. restrict the

number of occupants or amount of cargo carried).
You may add equipment throughout your vehicle if the total weight

added is equal to or less than the total axle reserve capacity (TARC)

weight. You should NEVER exceed the total axle reserve capacity.
Always ensure that the weight of occupants, cargo and equipment being

carried is within the weight limitations that have been established for

your vehicle including both gross vehicle weight and front and rear gross

axle weight rating limits.
