Weight limits
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight, maximum trailer
weight (A), maximum tongue weight (B) and Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capacity weight is printed on the tire and loading
information placard as “combined weight of occupants and
cargo”.
This weight includes the weight of all occupants and the total
weight it can carry.
For detail information, refer to “Tire and loading information
placard” on page 4-9.
Maximum trailer weight
Recommendations for towing up to this limit are as follows.
Tongue weight
The tongue weight of any trailer is important because it affects
the vehicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes any cargo you may carry,
and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If you tow a
trailer, you must include the tongue weight of the trailer in your
calculation of the vehicle capacity weight. Refer to “Tire and
loading information placard” on page 4-9, for more informa-
tion about vehicle capacity weight.
Do not exceed the tongue weight at 10 % of the loaded trailer
weight.
Example:
In case of your loaded weight is 3,500 lbs. (1,588 kg), the
tongue weight is 350 lbs. (160 kg).
