STARTING AND OPERATING 485 Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/ Transmission 6.4L Automatic GCWR (Gross Combined Frontal Area Max. GTW Wt. Rating) (Gross Trailer Wt.) 10,400 lbs (4 717 kg) 40 sq ft (3.72 sq m) 5,000 lbs (2 268 kg) Refer to local laws for maximum trailer towing speeds. Max. Trailer Tongue Wt. (See Note) 500 lbs (227 kg) NOTE: The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the weight referenced on the Tire and Loading Information placard. Refer to "Tire-Safety Information" in "Starting and Operating" for further information. Trailer And Tongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% to 15% of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side which will cause loss of control of vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many trailer accidents. 5
