Truck Towing Capacity Calculator

About This Tool

This calculator helps you determine if your truck can safely tow a specific trailer. It uses basic truck and trailer specifications to estimate towing compatibility. Truck specs can be obtained by looking for your "Trailering Information" sticker on the driver's side door jamb.

How to Use

  1. Enter your truck's specifications (found on the door jamb sticker):
    • GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
    • Payload capacity
    • GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating)
  2. Enter your trailer's specifications:
    • Tongue weight
    • GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
    • UVW (Unloaded Vehicle Weight) - optional, used to estimate GVWR if not provided
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to see the results.
Disclaimer: This tool provides estimates only and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice, manufacturer guidelines, or your vehicle's owner's manual. Towing capacity can be affected by many factors not accounted for in this simple calculation. Always err on the side of caution and consult with a professional if you're unsure about your vehicle's towing capabilities.
