Your vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so
you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading a vehicle.
Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’s engine,
transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these
components carefully after any towing operation.

For high altitude operation, reduce GCW by 2% per 1,000 ft. (300 meters)
elevation.
*When towing on roads with steep grades or moderate but long sustained
grades (5 miles [8 km] or more), or when ambient temperatures exceed
100°F (37°C), vehicle speed should not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) in both
cases.

To determine maximum trailer weight designed for your particular vehicle,
see Vehicle Loading earlier in this chapter.
Maximum trailer weight is shown. The combined weight of the completed
towing vehicle (including hitch, passengers and cargo) and the loaded
trailer must not exceed the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).
