How can I determine if my car can haul this – how do I find the payload or GVWR?
Determining the payload, GVWR, or empty weight of the trailer can be done using the following formulas:
- Maximum Payload = GVWR - Trailer weight
- GVWR = Maximum Payload + Trailer weight
- Trailer weight = GVWR - Maximum Payload
To determine if your vehicle can haul a trailer, you will consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual and the information from above to determine if the trailer falls within your vehicle’s hauling capabilities.
