Addition of trailer tongue weight cannot cause vehicle
weights to exceed Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR)
or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The standard base
cooling system includes all content required to attain
maximum trailer weight rating. No optional cooling
equipment is available. The Heavy-Duty Trailering Equipment
Package (Z82) includes trailer hitch platform and 7-wire
trailer wiring harness.
1 Before you buy a vehicle or use it for trailering, carefully review the Trailering section of the Owner’s Manual. The weight of passengers, cargo and options or accessories may reduce the amount you can tow. 2 Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the maximum allowable combined
mass of the tow vehicle, passengers and cargo in the tow vehicle, plus the trailer and cargo in the trailer.
