How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?

I need to know how much stuff my truck will tow by weight.How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?
Since you do not mention the model, year, 2 or 4 wheel drive, engine size and rear axel I can't answer it, but many times Edmonds will have some information.



Actually payload and towing capacity are completely different.



Trucks are actually evaluated for maximum towing capacity, but as I said, the questions that I asked needed answered first.
Check the owners manual, or the tag on the inside of the door.How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?
Look in your owners manual or call a dealership. That info is readily available in both location.
It is in your owners manual. If you don't have a manual contact a dealer who sells the truck his maintenance department will have that info.How do I find towing capacity for my truck ?
Check the owners manual. Note that for towing purposes there's a limit on weight of the trailer plus cargo as well as "tongue weight" (i.e. actually weight pushing down on trailer hitch).
There is really no rating for that in particular. Now there is a "capacity payload" towing rate for your truck. You kind of have to use some sensibility and keep your towing down to a minimum cause any heavy weighted object thats going to be towed will overwork the tranny and cause the fluid to heat up more quickly. Inotice alot of those dually truck guys get an extra tranny fluid cooler added on the truck just for towing purposes. Now if you have a dually truck or a deisel powered truck there probably is a towing rate where the driver door jam is. I hope this helps.
call your local dealer. they can tell you the exact amounts. good luck!
just check the owner manual
there should be a tag on your drivers door that will read MAX GVW or MAX GVW RATING - this is the maximum gross vehicle weight rating - it includes the weight of the truck as well as the payload. it will be the rating to use based on the equipment your truck was built with, your owners manual will cover how to load your truck - ie how much of a load you can put on the rear bumper hitch , and how much payload you can put in the box , and how heavy of a trailer you can pull.
