Your
Driving
and
the
Road
Three
important considerations have
to do with weight:
Weight
of
the
Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
For utility vehicles, a
trailer should never weigh more
than
7,000
pounds
(31
75.2
kg).
For wagon models, a
trailer should never weigh more
than
10,000
pounds
(6125.6
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 all are
important. And,
it
can also
dependon
any special equipment
that you have
on
your vehicle. You can
ask your dealer for our trailering
information or advice, or you can write us at
the address
listed
in your Warranty and Owner Assistance
Information
Booklet.

Weight
of
the
Trailer
Tongue
The
tongue
load (A) of any
trailer
is
an importantweighttomeasurebecause
it affects the total, gross weight
of your vehicle. The gross vehicle weight
(GVW)includesthecurbweight
of
thevehicle,anycargoyoumaycarryin
it,
and
the people who will be riding
in
the vehicle. And
if
you will
tow a
trailer,
you
must add
the
tongue
load
to the GVW becauseyourvehiclewillbe
carrying
that weight,
too. See “Loading
Your Vehicle”
in
the
Index
for more
informationaboutyourvehicle’smaximumloadcapacity.
