NOTE: Trailer ratings are calculated assuming a standard equipped vehicle plus driver. Optional equipment, cargo and/ or passengers will reduce trailering capacities. GCWR is defined as the Gross Combination Weight Rating, which is the total combined weight of the trailer and vehicle (with full fuel) including the weight of all passengers and cargo. WB is the abbreviation for wheel-base.
NOTE: The trailer tongue weight should be 10-15% of the total loaded trailer weight up to 1,000 lbs. Trailering capacity may be limited by the tow vehicle's ability to carry trailer tongue weight. Make sure that the vehicle's payload (reduced by option weight) can accommodate the trailer tongue load weight and both the weight of the passengers and cargo added to the towing vehicle. Warning; the weights of the passengers, cargo and that of the trailer tongue load, cannot cause the vehicle to exceeds its' rear GAWR or GVWR. These ratings can be found on the vehicle's Safety Compliance Certification Label, located on the driver's side door jam.
