GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
This is the maximum load on an axle specified by the tow vehicle manufacturer. It is possible to have your vehicle and trailer
within GVWR and GCWR load limits but above the axle load limit specified. Ensure that this is not exceeded.
Summary of Weight Ratings
The above will assist in tuning or troubleshooting handling problems with your towing combination but are not the sole
influences. Other items for consideration are:
• Wheel alignment on both vehicle and trailer.
• Wear and tear on:
- Suspension bushes
- Shock absorbers.
- Springs
- Tires
• Tow vehicle tire size (Oversize tires)
• Extended hitches
• Distance between axle center and hitch point.
• Tow vehicle accessories (Weight distribution)
• Real life tow vehicle capability (Not all vehicles are created equal)
The purpose of this information is to help you to do a self-assessment and achieve a sound towing combination. If you are not
confident you can achieve this, you should consult an expert to assist.
If you require assistance from MDCUSA, contact your nearest dealer.
Towing Mirrors
Depending on the width of your car mirrors versus the overall width of your trailer, you may be required to fit extended
mirrors to your vehicle when towing. The illustration below shows the minimum required field of vision through your
vehicle’s mirrors.
Mirror extension attachments must be
removed when not towing
, fitted mirrors that extend must
also be retracted when not towing.
