Calculating the load your vehicle can carry/tow

Use the appropriate maximum gross combined weight rating (GCWR)

chart to find the maximum GCWR for your type engine and rear axle ratio.

2. Weigh your vehicle as you customarily operate the vehicle without

cargo. To obtain correct weights, try taking your vehicle to a shipping

company or an inspection station for trucks.

3. Subtract your loaded vehicle weight from the maximum GCWR on the

following charts. This is the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow

and must fall below the maximum shown under maximum trailer weight

on the chart.

TRAILER TOWING

Your vehicle may tow a class I, II or III trailer provided the maximum

trailer weight is less than or equal to the maximum trailer weight listed

for your engine and rear axle ratio on the following charts.

Your vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so

you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading a vehicle.

Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’s engine,

transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these

components carefully after any towing operation.
