See Weight-Distributing Hitch
Adjustment under Towing
Equipment 0 356 to determine
if equalizer bars are required
to obtain the maximum trailer
weight rating.
See Trailer Brakes under
Towing Equipment 0 356 to
determine if brakes are
required based on the trailer
weight.
The only way to be sure the
weight is not exceeding any of
these ratings is to weigh the
tow vehicle and trailer
combination, fully loaded for
the trip, getting individual
weights for each of these
items.
Warning
You and others could be
seriously injured or killed if
the trailer is too heavy or
the trailer brakes are
inadequate for the load. The
vehicle may be damaged,
and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Only tow a trailer if all the
steps in this section have
been followed. Ask your
dealer for advice and
information about towing a
trailer.
Gross Combined Weight
Rating (GCWR)
GCWR is the total allowable
weight of the completely
loaded vehicle and trailer
including any fuel, passengers,
cargo, equipment, and
accessories. Do not exceed
the GCWR for your vehicle.
The GCWR for the vehicle is
on the tow rating chart later in
this section.
To check that the weight of
the vehicle and trailer are
within the GCWR for the
vehicle:
1. Start with the curb weight
from the Trailering
Information Label.
2. Add the weight of the
trailer loaded with cargo
and ready for the trip.
