2,990 lb GVWR minus 751 lb base trailer weight equals 2,239 lb estimated base payload.

Payload decreases as options are added.

Weight and payload estimates: Published trailer weight reflects the standard base configuration. Options and manufacturing variation affect final weight and available payload. Your completed trailer is weighed at the factory; its certified final weight and payload are provided after manufacturing.

Fit and towing: Payload shown is trailer payload, not your tow vehicle's capacity. Verify your vehicle, hitch, tongue-weight, and loaded-trailer ratings before ordering.

Check tow-vehicle compatibility

Optional — tow compatibility

Will your vehicle tow this trailer?

Enter what you know about your tow vehicle for plain-language guidance. This is separate from the trailer's own cargo payload, and it is not a safety certification.
