Maximum Trailer Weight

required trailering equipment. The weight of additional optional equipment, passengers, and cargo in the tow vehicle
must be subtracted from the maximum trailer weight.
Use the tow rating chart to determine how much the trailer can weigh, based on the vehicle model and options.Vehicle Axle Ratio Maximum Trailer Weight GCWR*
