02 / The connection

Weight carrying and weight distribution

Weight carrying

Mode-specific receiver limits are not published in the selected source; read the actual receiver and hitch-component labels.

Trailer limit: Check your installed component label. Tongue limit: Check your installed component label.

Weight distributing

Mode-specific receiver limits are not published in the selected source; read the actual receiver and hitch-component labels.

Trailer limit: Check your installed component label. Tongue limit: Check your installed component label.

Weight distribution does not raise factory ratings. Axle loads and vehicle mass in the adjusted state require measurements. Receiver, ball mount, ball, and coupler must each be checked.

Other manufacturer requirements

Weight distribution required at 5,000 lb or more. The 2026 manual, printed pages 190–191, requires a weight-distributing hitch when gross trailer weight is at least 5,000 lb. Verify hitch setup and compatibility; this inclusive threshold is not automatically evaluated. Manufacturer source

Maximum vehicle trailer tongue weight: 620 lb. Selected towing-table row, printed pages 192–194. This vehicle limit is distinct from the ratings on the actual hitch components. Manufacturer source
