Rating basis & limits

The illustration uses 10% . Q24 is limited to 5,000 lb trailer and 500 lb tongue; supported QA2 builds use 7,500 lb and 750 lb. Extended heavy Cargo vans retain the lower 5,000-lb limit. The current-year prohibits towing with the 170-inch Passenger van. Base and published are not adjusted for selected options. Add people, gear, options and fitted equipment to the load. The loaded trailer is counted once in combined weight. Some published weights conflict, so those values stay unknown. Extended 3500 combined weight uses the earlier U.S. manual’s lower 14,990-lb limit provisionally. A positive result checks only the displayed limits. Weigh the actual van and trailer, and check , tire, hitch and braking limits. A requirement hasn’t been verified.
