Weight of the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
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.
Use one of the following charts to determine how much your vehicle can weigh, based upon your vehicle
model and options.
Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming only the driver is in the tow vehicle and it has all the required trailering
equipment. The weight of additional optional equipment, passengers and cargo in the tow vehicle must be subtracted
from the maximum trailer weight.
