Towing Weight Limits Your vehicle has been designed to primarily carry passengers and their cargo. You can use it to tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper equipment, and follow the guidelines in this section. Be sure to read the Driving OffHighway Guidelines section on page 159 if you plan to tow off paved surfaces. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all occupants, all cargo and the tongue load is 4,320 lbs (1,960 kg). Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) The maximum allowable weight on the vehicle axles are 2,160 lbs (980 kg) on the front axle, and 2,250 lbs (1,020 kg) on the rear axle. The best way to confirm that all loads are within limits is to check them at a public scale. Exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive. 150 Driving
