To calculate your maximum trailer weight:

For pickup trucks: Take curb weight, hitch hardware and the driver’s

weight, then subtract them from the GCWR listed for your vehicle series,

engine, transmission and drive axle ratio (refer to the chart/table in the

following text). This calculation will give you the maximum trailer

weight possible for your vehicle.

For chassis cabs and pickup trucks with aftermarket equipment:

Weigh your vehicle at a certified scale and subtract this actual curb

weight, hitch hardware, and the driver’s weight from the GCWR listed for

your vehicle series, engine, transmission and drive axle ratio (refer to

the chart/table in the following text). This calculation will give you the

maximum trailer weight possible for your vehicle.

The weight of all additional cargo and passengers must be subtracted

from the maximum trailer weight calculated above.

Further trailer/hitch restrictions and limitations exist depending on the

type of trailer and hitch used. These additional maximum trailer weight

and tongue load limitations are listed in the chart/table that follows the

listing of GCWRs.

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

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

components carefully prior to and after any towing operation. Refer to

Transmission fluid temperature gauge in the Instrument Cluster

chapter for the transmission fluid temperature information.

Note: Do not exceed the GCWR listed for your vehicle on the following

chart/table, or the GVWR, GAWR or tire ratings specified on the Tire

Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label.

WARNING: Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended

trailer weight which exceeds the limit of the vehicle’s GCWR,

GVWR, GAWR or tire ratings could result in engine damage,

transmission damage, structural damage, loss of vehicle control, vehicle

rollover and personal injury.
