*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.
**This model is neither designed nor intended to tow fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailers.
Ask your dealer for trailering
information or advice, or write us at
our Customer Assistance Offices.

information.
The tongue load (A) of any trailer is
very important because it is also
part of the vehicle weight. 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 as well as trailer tongue
weight. Vehicle options, equipment,
passengers, and cargo in the
vehicle reduce the amount of
tongue weight the vehicle can carry,
which will also reduce the trailer
weight the vehicle can tow. See
or
for more information about the
vehicle's maximum load capacity.
Trailer tongue weight (A) should be
10 percent to 15 percent and
fifth-wheel or gooseneck kingpin
weight should be 15 to 25 percent of
the loaded trailer weight (B) up to
the maximums for vehicle series
and hitch type.
