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 10,500 lb conventional maximum is 1,050 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Change from 2014

  • Conventional: 10,500 lb in 2014, 10,500 lb in 2015 (unchanged maximum, different source or equipment list).

Generation

Second generation

2015 is year 9 of this generation (2007–2021). Full-size redesign for 2007. The 5.7L V8 defined towing for most of this long generation and was retired at the end of it.

2015 towing by engine

Lowest to highest printed rating for each engine across 26 transcribed chart rows. A missing hitch means the chart did not print one for that engine, not that it is zero.
