Driving and Operating 9-51 Use the following chart to determine how much the vehicle can weigh, based upon the vehicle model and options. Vehicle Front‐Wheel Drive Front‐Wheel Drive, V92 Trailer Towing Package All‐Wheel Drive All‐Wheel Drive, V92 Trailer Towing Package Maximum Trailer Weight 2,000 lbs (907 kg) 5,200 lbs (2 359 kg) 2,000 lbs (907 kg) 5,200 lbs (2 359 kg) *GCWR 7,500 lbs (3 402 kg) 10,250 lbs (4 649 kg) 7,700 lbs (3 493 kg) 10,450 lbs (4 740 kg) *The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment and conversions. The GCWR for the vehicle should not be exceeded. Ask your dealer for our trailering information or advice. See Customer Assistance Offices (U.S. and Canada) on page 13‑5 or Customer Assistance Offices (Mexico) on page 13‑5 for more information. Weight of the Trailer Tongue The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important weight to measure because it affects the total gross weight of the vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo carried in it, and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If there are a lot of options, equipment, passengers or cargo in the vehicle, it will reduce the tongue weight the vehicle can carry, which will also reduce the trailer weight the vehicle can tow. If towing a trailer, the tongue load must be added to the GVW because the vehicle will be carrying that weight, too. See Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑12
