The best way to confirm that all
loads are within limits is to check
them at a public scale.
To help ensure a safe drive to a scale,
or if you cannot get to a public scale,
we recommend that you estimate
your total trailer weight and tongue
load as described next.
Add the weight of your trailer (as
quoted by the manufacturer) with
everything in or on the trailer. Check
the tables on page
that you do
not exceed the limit for your
conditions.
The maximum
allowable weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, all cargo and the tongue
load is 5,950 lbs (2,700 kg).
The maximum
allowable weight on the vehicle axles
are 2,865 lbs (1,300 kg) on the front
axle, and 3,155 lbs (1,430 kg) on the
rear axle.
The maximum
allowable weight of the fully loaded
vehicle and trailer is 9,700 lbs (4,410
kg) with the proper hitch and fluid
coolers (see page
).
The GCWR must be reduced 2
percent for every 1,000 feet (305
meters) of elevation.
