GCWR is the maximum allowable combined weight of loaded truck and
trailer. It includes the weight of passengers, cargo and fuel in the
truck and cargo in the trailer.
(b) Maximum Trailer Weight = GCWR – Curb Wt. – 150 lbs.
(allowance for driver) and must be decreased by the weight of optional
equipment, trailer hitch, cargo, and passengers. Maximum trailer weights
shown are rounded to the nearest 50 lbs. less. Use synthetic axle
lubricant with the trailer tow package. Tongue weight should be 10-15%
of loaded trailer weight but may not cause vehicle to exceed GVWR
or GAWR. Load equalizing hitch recommended for trailers over 2000
pounds.
