Tongue weight
The tongue weight of any trailer is important
because it affects the vehicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes any
cargo you may carry, and the people who will
be riding in the vehicle. If you will tow a
trailer, you must include the tongue weight of
the trailer in your calculation of the vehicle
capacity weight. For more information
regarding vehicle capacity weight, refer to
"Tire and loading information placard" on
page 6-7.
Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight
for your vehicle.
Models
Maximum tongue weight
With brake 150 lbs. (68
kg)
2.4 liter models

After you've loaded your trailer, weigh the
trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see
if the weights are proper.
Keep the trailer tongue load at 10% of the
loaded trailer weight for dead weight hitches.
