Consider the following items when computing the

weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
• The tongue weight of the trailer.
• The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment

put in or on your vehicle.

• The weight of the driver and all passengers.

NOTE:

Remember that everything put into or on the

trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional

must be considered as part of the total load on your

vehicle. Refer to the “Tire and Loading Information

combined weight of occupants and cargo for your ve-

hicle.
