Recommended Towing Weights
Note:
Do not exceed the trailer weight for your vehicle configuration listed in the chart that follows.
Note:
Make sure to take into consideration trailer frontal area. Do not exceed 55 ft² (5.11 m²) if your vehicle has the standard towing package, or 60 ft² (5.57 m²) if your vehicle has the heavy duty package.
Note:
Your vehicle could have reduced performance when operating at high altitudes and when heavily loaded or towing a trailer. When driving at elevation, to match driving performance as perceived at sea level, reduce gross vehicle weight and gross combination weight by 2% per
1,000 ft (300 m) of elevation.
Note:
Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a specified weight. Be sure to check state regulations for this specified weight. This specified weight could limit the maximum trailer weights, as the vehicle’s electrical system may not include the wiring connector needed to activate electric trailer brakes.
Your vehicle may tow a trailer provided the maximum trailer weight is less than or equal to the maximum trailer weight listed for your vehicle configuration on the chart that follows.
To calculate the maximum loaded trailer weight for your vehicle:- Start with the gross combined weight rating for your vehicle model and axle ratio. See the chart that follows.
- Subtract all of the following that apply to your vehicle:Vehicle curb weight.Hitch hardware weight, such as a draw bar, ball, locks or weight distributing.Driver weight.Passenger weight.Payload, cargo and luggage weight.Aftermarket equipment weight.
- This equals the maximum loaded trailer weight for this combination.
Note:
The trailer tongue load figures into the payload for your vehicle. Reduce the total payload by the final trailer tongue weight.
Consult an authorized dealer to determine the maximum trailer weight allowed for your vehicle if you are not sure.
