Can I tow it?
Enter your vehicle's limits and your trailer's loaded weight. The calculator checks the trailer, hitch, payload and combined weight together, because passing one limit does not mean you pass the others.

How the check works
Tongue weight = trailer × tongue %
Trailer ≤ maximum trailer weight
Tongue weight ≤ hitch tongue limit
People + cargo + tongue weight ≤ payload
Curb + people + cargo + trailer ≤ GCWR
Trailer ≤ maximum trailer weight
Tongue weight ≤ hitch tongue limit
People + cargo + tongue weight ≤ payload
Curb + people + cargo + trailer ≤ GCWR
A conventional trailer should put about 10–15% of its weight on the hitch; a fifth wheel or gooseneck about 15–25%. Too little tongue weight makes a trailer sway. If you are close to any limit, weigh the loaded rig at a truck scale before a long trip.
