Towing Load Limits
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. Check the load limits before driving.
Total Load
Each weight limit is calculated based on the following conditions:
• Occupants fill seats from the front of the vehicle to the back
Any additional weight, luggage or accessories reduce the maximum trailer weight
and maximum tongue load.

If a public scale is not available, add the estimated
weight of your luggage load to the weight of your
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer), and the
trailer nose load.
