Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?

Your vehicle can tow up to 3,500 lbs (1 575 kg).

But even that can be too heavy.

It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For

example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside

temperature and how much your vehicle is used to

pull a trailer are all important. It can also depend

on any special equipment that you have on

your vehicle, and the amount of tongue weight the

vehicle can carry. See “Weight of the Trailer

Tongue” later in this section for more information.

Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming

only the driver is in the tow vehicle and it has

all the required trailering equipment. The weight of

additional optional equipment, passengers and

cargo in the tow vehicle must be subtracted from

the maximum trailer weight.

You can ask your dealer for our trailering

information or advice, or you can write us at our

Customer Assistance Offices. See Customer

Assistance Offices on page 460 for more

information.

Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important

weight to measure because it affects the total

or gross weight of your vehicle. The Gross Vehicle

Weight (GVW) includes the curb weight of the

vehicle, any cargo you may carry in it, and

the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If you

have a lot of options, passengers, or cargo in

the vehicle, it will reduce the tongue weight your

vehicle can carry, which will also reduce the trailer

weight your vehicle can tow. And if you will tow

a trailer, you must add the tongue load to the GVW

because your vehicle will be carrying that weight,

too. See Loading Your Vehicle on page 315

for more information about your vehicle’s maximum

load capacity.
