required to achieve the rating. Additional pas-

sengers, cargo and/or optional equipment, such

as the trailer hitch, will add weight to the vehicle

and reduce your vehicle’s ma ximum towing

capacity and trailer tongue load.

The vehicle and trailer need to be weighed to

confirm the vehicle is within the GVWR, Front

GAWR, Rear GAWR, Gross Combined Weight

Rating (GCWR) and Towing capacity.

All vehicle and trailer weights can be measured

using platform type scales commonly found at

truck stops, highway weigh stations, building

supply centers or salvage yards.

To determine the available payload capacity for

tongue load, use the following procedure.

1. Locate the GVWR on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.

S.S. certification label.

2. Weigh your vehicle on the scale with all of

the passengers and cargo that are normally

in the vehicle when towing a trailer.

3. Subtract the actual vehicle weight from the

GVWR. The remaining amount is the avail-

able maximum tongue load.

To determine the available towing capacity, use

the following procedure.

1. Find the GCWR for your vehicle on the

“Towing Load/Specification” chart found

later in this section.

2. Subtract the actual vehicle weight from the

GCWR. The remaining amount is the avail-

able maximum towing capacity.

To determine the Gross Trailer Weight, weigh

your trailer on a scale with all equipment and

cargo, that are normally in the trailer when it is

towed. Make sure the Gross trailer weight is not

more than the Gross Trailer Weight Rating

shown on the trailer and is not more than the

calculated available maximum towing capacity.

Also weigh the front and rear axles on the scale

to make sure the Front Gross Axle Weight and

Rear Gross Axle Weight are not more than Front

Gross Axle Weight and Rear Gross Axle Weight

on the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.

The cargo in the trailer and vehicle may need to

be moved or removed to meet the specified

ratings.

Example:

. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) as weighed

on a scale - including passengers, cargo

and hitch - 4,133 lb. (1,874 kg).

. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) from

F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label -

4,233 lb. (1,920 kg).

. Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)

from “Towing Load/Specification” chart -

5,136 lb. (2,329 kg).

. Maximum Trailer towing capacity from “Tow-

ing Load/Specification” chart - 1,000 lb.

(453 kg).

4,233 lb. (1,920 kg) GVWR

− 4,133 lb. (1,874 kg) GVW

= 100 lb. (45 kg)

Available for tongue

weight

5,136 lb. (2,329 kg) GCWR

− 4,133 lb. (1,874 kg) GVW

= 1,003 lb. (455 kg)

Capacity available for

towing

100 lb. (45 kg) / Available tongue weight

1,003 lb. (455 kg) Available capacity

= 10 % tongue weight
