CWR is the maximum weight ofthe load your vehicle can carry. It doesn’t includethe weight of the people inside. But you can figure about150 lbs. (68 kg) for each seat. The total cargo loadmust not be more than your vehicle’s CWR.Weigh your vehicle with the trailer attached, so that youwon’t go over the GVWR or GAWR. If you are usinga weight-distributing hitch, weigh the vehicle without thespring bars in place.You’ll get the best performance if you spread out theweight of your load the right way, and if you choose thecorrect hitch and trailer brakes.For more information, see Towing a Trailer onpage 4-44.4-57
