Frequently Asked Questions
GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, the maximum total weight a vehicle can safely carry including its own weight plus passengers, cargo, and tongue weight.
Tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler. It should typically be 10-15% of the trailer weight for safe towing.
Your safe towing capacity is limited by both your vehicle's tow rating and the GVWR minus curb weight. If your payload is high, the GVWR calculation may be the limiting factor.
