WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM LOADED
TRAILER WEIGHT
The maximum loaded trailer weight is the
highest possible weight of a fully loaded
trailer the vehicle can tow.
CALCULATING THE MAXIMUM
LOADED TRAILER WEIGHT FOR
YOUR VEHICLE
1. Start with the gross combined weight
rating for your vehicle model and axle
ratio.
2. Subtract all of the following that apply
to your vehicle:
• Vehicle curb weight.
• Hitch hardware weight, for example a
draw bar, ball, locks or weight
distributing hardware.
• 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 is considered
part of the payload for your vehicle. Reduce
the total payload by the final trailer tongue
weight.
Note: Consult an authorized dealer to
determine the maximum trailer weight
allowed for your vehicle if you are not sure.
