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

factory-installed options or dealer-installed options must

be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.

Refer to “Tire Safety Information/Tire and Loading In-
