These are published configuration ratings, not a measurement of your truck. Additional equipment and loading can reduce available trailer capacity. Read each configuration’s conditions. Payload, GVWR, and axle ratings that are not verified for an individual vehicle remain unknown.

What this table covers

Each row corresponds to a specific reviewed manufacturer table cell. Empty cells are not filled by interpolation. Package names and exclusions are retained on the configuration page. We do not generate all possible engine, cab, and axle combinations.

Before your calculation

Find your vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information label, certification label, receiver label, and the trailer and coupling component ratings. Weigh the loaded combination to evaluate actual axle loads.
