The towing capacity calculator determines how much your vehicle can safely tow based on Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR), vehicle weight, and payload.
Enter your vehicle's curb weight, GCWR (from owner's manual), and passenger/cargo weight. The calculator shows maximum towing capacity and recommended limits.
Exceeding towing capacity is dangerous and illegal. This calculator helps ensure you stay within safe limits for towing trailers, boats, campers, or other loads.
