~1min read
Never exceed the maximum trailer tongue weight shown on the label on the bumper or trailer. Hitch.

- Consider the following items when calculating the load on the vehicle's rear axle:
- Weight of the trailer tongue.
- Weight of any other type of cargo or equipment placed in or on your vehicle.
- Weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE:
Remember that everything placed in or on the trailer increases the load on your vehicle. In addition, optional equipment installed at the factory or by the dealer should be considered part of the total vehicle load. Refer to the Tires section, Tire and Loading Information Label, for the maximum combined weight of passengers and cargo for your vehicle.
