Chevrolet: with a weight-carrying hitch the maximum trailer weight is 5,000 lb with a 600 lb tongue weight; a weight-distributing hitch and sway control are required above 600 lb of tongue weight, and tongue weight should be 10% to 15% of the loaded trailer (up to 1,250 lb). The guide gives no payload or GVWR. Ratings assume a properly equipped vehicle and a trailer with brakes where required by the manufacturer. "n/a" means the manufacturer does not publish that figure in this document.
