Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings) - Chrysler 300 SRT 2019 Owner's Manual

Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the
weight of all cargo, consumables, and equip-
ment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on
the trailer in its "loaded and ready for operation"
condition.
The recommended way to measure GTW is to
put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
The entire weight of the trailer must be sup-
ported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The GCWR is the total allowable weight of your
vehicle and trailer when weighed in combina-
tion.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front
and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not
exceed either front or rear GAWR. Refer to
"Vehicle Loading/Vehicle Certification Label" in
"Starting And Operating" for further information.

The tongue weight is the downward force ex-
erted on the hitch ball by the trailer. You must

with the telescoping motion to dampen any
unwanted trailer swaying motions while travel-

matically applies individual wheel brakes and/or
reduces engine power to attempt to eliminate
the trailer sway.
