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 14,000 lb conventional maximum is 1,400 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 15,900 lb fifth-wheel maximum is 2,385 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 15,900 lb gooseneck maximum is 2,385 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

2015 towing by engine
Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 52 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
