Towing a Trailer To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 60 percent of the load toward the front of the trailer and 40 percent toward the rear, then re-adjust the load as needed. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): The total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, all cargo, and the tongue load must not exceed: 4-cylinder models: (DX, LX) 4,035 Ibs (1,830 kg) (EX) 4,080 Ibs (1,850 kg) 6-cylinder models: 4,255 Ibs (1,930 kg) Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): The total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, all cargo, and the tongue load must not exceed: 4-cylinder models: (DX, LX) 2,180 Ibs (990 kg) on the front axle 1,920 Ibs (870 kg) on the rear axle (EX) 2,205 Ibs (1000 kg) on the front axle 1,940 Ibs (880 kg) on the rear axle 6-cylinder models: 2,315 Ibs (1,050 kg) on the front axle 1,960 Ibs (890 kg) on the rear axle Exceeding load limits or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed. Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive. Checking Loads The best way to confirm that vehicle and trailer weights are within limits is to have them checked at a public scale. Using a suitable scale or a special tongue load gauge, check the tongue load the first time you set up a towing combination (a fully-loaded vehicle and trailer), then recheck the tongue load whenever the conditions change.
