*The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and
trailer including any passengers, cargo equipment and conversion. The GCWR for the vehicle should not be
exceeded.
Ask your dealer for our trailering
information or advice, or write us at
our Customer Assistance Offices.

Weight of the Trailer Tongue
The tongue load (1) of any trailer is
an important weight to measure
because it affects the total gross
weight of the vehicle. 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.
If there are a lot of options,
equipment, passengers, or cargo in
4 218 kg (9,300 lbs)
the vehicle, it will reduce the tongue
weight the vehicle can carry, which
will also reduce the trailer weight
the vehicle can tow. If towing a
trailer, the tongue load must be
added to the GVW because the
vehicle will be carrying that weight,
too. See Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9 10 for more information
about the vehicle's maximum load
capacity.
