HQ12 weight and towing
| Dry weight | 5,080 lb |
|---|---|
| GVWR (maximum loaded weight) | 7,500 lb |
| Cargo capacity (GVWR minus dry weight) | 2,420 lb |
| Published tongue weight (dry) | 508 lb |
| Loaded tongue weight at GVWR (10 to 13%) | 750 lb to 975 lb |
| Tow vehicle | Most properly equipped half-ton trucks and full-size SUVs rated 8,000 lb or more. Payload, not tow rating, is usually the limit, so check the yellow sticker on your door jamb. |
Size your truck to the GVWR, not the dry weight: nobody tows an empty trailer, and the Yellow Stone and Rocky Mountain packages add weight. Check your truck in the towing calculator or run the numbers in the payload and tongue-weight checker.
