The first step you should take before diving in too deep, is to understand your current towing capacity and the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.) The GVWR is the maximum permissible weight of the unit fully loaded and in order to calculate this, you will need to combine the UVW (Unit Vehicle Weight) and the CCC (Cargo Carrying Capacity). The towing guides below will help you find what you are able to tow and therefore what you should be shopping. When navigating the tow guides, make sure you also know the following information about your vehicle:
- Year
- Make
- Model
- Trim
- Transmission
- Vehicle Options
