Total trailer weight
Do not exceed the maximum allowable weight of the trailer, cargo and everything in or on it shown in the table below. Towing loads in excess of this can seriously affect vehicle handling and performance and can damage the engine and drivetrain.
Each weight limit is calculated based on the following conditions:
- Occupants fill seats from the front of the vehicle to the back.
- Each occupant weighs 150 lbs (68 kg).
- Each occupant has 15 lbs (7 kg) of cargo in the cargo area.
- Any additional weight, cargo, or accessories reduce the maximum trailer weight and maximum tongue load.
Tongue Load
The weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer on the hitch should be approximately:
- Boat trailers: 5 - 15% of the total trailer weight
- Other trailers: 10 - 15% of the total trailer weight
