Your Vehicle
💡 Where to find these numbers: Check the sticker on your driver's door jamb, your owner's manual, or search "[Year] [Make] [Model] GCWR". Selecting a trim above auto-fills these for you.
2
Truck Load — what's inside your cab and bed
⚠️ Most people forget this step. Passengers, gear, and a full fuel tank can easily subtract 600–800 lbs from your available capacity. This is the #1 cause of overloaded tow setups.

Your Trailer
📌 Use loaded weight, not dry weight. The "dry weight" on a trailer spec sheet doesn't include your gear, water, food, or people inside. Loaded weight is often 20–40% higher than dry.
