Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 10 percent of the 7,700 lb conventional maximum is 770 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Generation
Third generation
2025 is year 3 of this generation (2023–2026). One 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder for every trim. The 2026 chart shows 3,500 to 7,700 pounds depending on trailering package, and lower ratings on ZR2 trims.
2025 towing by engine
Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 4 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
| Engine | Conventional | Chart rows |
