Weight
of
the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It
should never weigh more than
1,000
lbs. (454 kg).
But even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan
to
use your rig. For
example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull a
trailer
are
all important. And,
it
can also depend on any
special equipment that you have
on
your vehicle.
You can ask your dealer for our trailering information
or

Weight
of
the Trailer Tongue
The tongue load (A)
of
any trailer is an important
weight to measure because it affects the total capacity
weight
of
your vehicle. The capacity weight includes the
curb weight
of
the vehicle, any cargo you may
carry
in
it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle.. And
if
you
will tow a trailer, you must subtract the tongue
load from your vehicle’s capacity weight because your
vehicle will be carrying that weight, too. See “Loading
Your Vehicle” in the Index for more information about
your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.
