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 6,800 lb conventional maximum is 680 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

What changes the number

  • Engine and transmission
  • Cab, bed, and wheelbase
  • Two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive
  • Axle ratio and tow package
  • Conventional hitch versus fifth-wheel versus gooseneck
  • People, options, and cargo, which spend payload the chart assumed was empty
