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 9,500 lb conventional maximum is 950 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

2011 towing by engine

Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 24 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
