WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM
LOADED TRAILER WEIGHT
Maximum loaded trailer weight is the
highest possible weight of a fully loaded
trailer the vehicle can tow. Consult an
authorized dealer (or the RV and Trailer
Towing Guide available at an authorized
dealer) for more detailed information. See
Towing a Trailer (page 325).
WHAT IS THE GROSS
COMBINED WEIGHT RATING
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
is the maximum allowable weight of the

(Important: The towing vehicle’s braking
system is rated for operation at Gross

functional brakes should be used for safe
control of towed vehicles and for trailers
where the Gross Combined Weight of the
towing vehicle plus the trailer exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the towing
vehicle. See Recommended Towing
Weights (page 327).
