Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)

The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain.
Engine/
Transmission
6.4L Automatic
NOTE:
The trailer tongue weight must be consid-
ered as part of the combined weight of
occupants and cargo, and should never ex-
ceed the weight referenced on the Tire and
Loading Information placard.

Trailer And Tongue Weight

Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in
the front of the trailer. Loads balanced over the
wheels, or heavier in the rear, can cause the
trailer to sway severely side-to-side which will
cause loss of control of vehicle and trailer.
Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the
cause of many trailer accidents. Never exceed
the maximum tongue weight stamped on your
trailer hitch.
