GCWR is the most the loaded vehicle and loaded trailer may weigh together. Small numbers are Jeep's footnotes for that page, listed under each table. Where a cell shows two weights, the footnote says which applies.
Notes from Jeep
- GCWR = Base Weight + EPA OPTIONS WEIGHT + 2 Passenger Weight + Trailer weight rating + Trailer equipment

The maximum assumes a lightly loaded vehicle. Passengers, cargo and tongue weight all come out of your payload. Run your trailer through the calculator with this vehicle's limits filled in:
