Trailer Recommendations

You must subtract your hitch loads from the Cargo
Weight Rating (CWR) for your vehicle. CWR is
the maximum weight of the load your vehicle can
carry. It doesn't include the weight of the people
inside. But you can figure about 150 lbs. (68 kg) for
each seat. The total cargo load must not be
more than your vehicle's CWR.
Weigh your vehicle with the trailer attached, so
that you won't go over the GVWR or GAWR. If you
are using a weight-distributing hitch, weigh the
vehicle without the spring bars in place.
You'll get the best performance if you spread out
the weight of your load the right way, and if
you choose the correct hitch and trailer brakes.
