a* Maximum trailer weight for all cutaway (E-350 and E-450) vehicles must be
calculated by subtracting the weight of the vehicle (including incomplete vehicle weight,
and payload which includes second unit body weight, cargo, and passengers) from the
GCW. Otherwise, maximum trailer weight is 4 536 kg (10 000 lbs).
b* Maximum loaded trailer weight of 4 717 kg (10 400 lbs.) on 7.3L E350 cutaways
(single rear wheel) applicable to fifth wheel trailer usage only. Otherwise, maximum
trailer weight is 4 536 kg (10 000 lbs.).
For high altitude operation reduce GCWR by 2% per 300 meters (1 000 ft) elevation.
To determine the maximum trailer weight designed for you particular vehicle as equipped,
follow the sectionCalculating the load your vehicle can tow/carryearlier in this chapter.
