Example: ● Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) as weighed on a scale - including passengers, cargo and hitch - 6,350 lb. (2880 kg). ● Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) from F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label 7,250 lb. (3289 kg). ● Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) from "Towing Load/Specification chart 15,100 lb. (6849 kg). ● Maximum Trailer towing capacity from "Towing Load/Specification chart - 9,100 lb. (4128 kg). 7,250 lb. (3289 kg) - 6,350 lb. (2880 kg) = 900 lb. (409 kg) GVWR GVW Available for tongue weight GCWR GVW Capacity available for towing 15,100 lb. (6849 kg) - 6,350 lb. (2880 kg) = 9,123 lb. (4138 kg) Remember to keep trailer tongue weight between 10 - 15% of the trailer weight or within the trailer tongue load specification recommended by the trailer manufacturer. If the tongue load becomes excessive, rearrange the cargo to obtain the proper tongue load. Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight specification shown in the "Towing load/specification" chart even if the calculated available tongue weight is greater than 15%. If the calculated tongue weight is less than 10% , reduce the total trailer weight to match the available tongue weight. Always verify that available capacities are within the required ratings. 900 lb. (409 kg) Available tongue weight / 8,750 lb. (3969 kg) = Available capacity 10 % tongue weight The available towing capacity may be less than the maximum towing capacity due to the passenger and cargo load in the vehicle. 9-20 Technical and consumer information
