Main Menu Table Of Contents Towing Weight Limits Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all occupants, all accessories, all cargo, and the tongue load is 6,050 lbs (2,745 kg). Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) The maximum allowable weight on the vehicle axles is 3,105 lbs (1,410 kg) on the front axle, and 3,245 lbs (1,475 kg) on the rear axle. Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) The maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle and trailer is 10,088 lbs (4,575 kg) with the proper hitch. The GCWR must be reduced 2 percent for every 1,000 feet (305 meters) of elevation. Estimating Loads The best way to confirm that all loads are within limits is to check them at a public scale (see page 217 ). To help ensure a safe drive to a scale, or if you cannot get to a public scale, we recommend that you estimate your total trailer weight and tongue load as described. To Estimate the Total Trailer Weight Add the weight of your trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) with everything in or on the trailer. Then check the tables on page 219 to make sure you do not exceed the limit for your conditions. 218 2008 Ridgeline
