Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For
example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull
a trailer are all important. And, it can also depend
on any special equipment that you have on your vehicle.
Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming the
driver and one passenger are in the tow vehicle and it
has all the required trailering equipment. The weight
of additional optional equipment, passengers and cargo
in the tow vehicle must be subtracted from the
maximum trailer weight. The weight of the trailer tongue
also affects the maximum trailer weight. See "Weight
of the Trailer Tongue" later in this section.
Your vehicle is a two-wheel drive vehicle. The axle
ratio is 3.73, the maximum trailer weight is
2,500 lbs. (1 134 kg) and the Gross Combination
Weight Rating (GCWR) is 8,000 lbs. (3 629 kg).
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 your vehicle
should not be exceeded.
You can ask your dealer for trailering information or
advice, or you can write us at the address listed in your
Warranty and Owner Assistance Information Booklet.
