*The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer
including any passengers, cargo, equipment, and conversions. The GCWR for the vehicle should not be exceeded.
**If a weight-carrying hitch or a weight-distributing hitch is being used, the trailer tongue should weigh no less than 4%
and no more than 10-15% of the total loaded trailer weight, not to exceed maximums above.
Ask your dealer for trailering
information or advice.
Weight of the Trailer Tongue
The tongue load (1) of any trailer is an
important weight to measure because
it affects the total gross weight of the
vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight
(GVW) includes the curb weight of the
vehicle, any cargo carried in it and the
people who will be riding in the
vehicle. If there are a lot of options,
equipment, passengers, or cargo in the
vehicle, it will reduce the tongue
weight the vehicle can carry, which
will also reduce the trailer weight the

nose weight must be added to the
GVW because the vehicle will be
carrying that weight, too. See Vehicle
Load Limits 0 177 for more
information about the vehicle's
