Payload: Payload weights shown are maximums and must be reduced by the weight of any passengers or optional equipment. Trailer Weight: Trailer weights shown are maximums and must be reduced by the weight of any passengers, cargo, hitch, or optional equipment in the towing vehicle. The following equipment may also be required: load-carrying hitch for trailers under 2,000 lbs. and load-equalizing hitch for trailers over 2,000 lbs. Towing a trailer will have an effect on the vehicle's handling, braking, durability, performance and driving economy.
