2018 Towing Guide

[Rampant]

Trailer Life's trusted towing guide for 2018 was just published. This is a great resource for comparing vehicle towing abilities in one place. It also contains a wealth of info on hitches, braking, and proper setup. Here is the digital guide for vehicles back to 1999 and searchable database for vehicles back to 1991. Enjoy!

This one also calculates your max tongue weight for you.


@smiley can you pin this please? Thanks!

Very helpful

Hey, thanks for that! I just posed a Q below about if my SCSB could tow 6K or so. Digital chart has no exact configuration for me, but like what I'm seeing and generally puts it to ~7K or so.

Maybe I'm missing something but this link, max tongue weight gave everything BUT max tongue weight.

Worked fine for my truck. You need to scroll down to see it. VehTongueWeightRating VTWR

I put my truck in, and the numbers don't match to what I have for capacity other than gvwr, which of course is limited by regulation, and I also understand it is just a general set of values. One confusing point, why does vtwr increase by 600 pounds going from 3.73 to 4.00 ratio. That vtwr is a product of payload capacity and for a general set of numbers it should remain static, at least I would think so. Since the data you enter into that website returns results for a general truck in the category that you're choosing, I would think that because payload capacity is a product of the model and options that a truck has, it should just remain static because changing to a different gear ratio with all else remaining the same would not change your payload capacity, correct?

Did the towing package automatically come with 3.92 gearing on a 2018 Big Horn, 1500 CCLB?
