Indianapolis Towing 317-247-8484<\/p><\/div>When it comes time to tow a trailer or other heavy load, it is important to know your vehicle\u2019s weight and towing capacity. The make and model vehicle you own will determine the amount of weight you can haul. It is vital to match the proper vehicle-type with the type of tow you need. Failure to do so can result in severe vehicular damage, trailer damages, roadway disasters, car accidents, injuries, and much more.

Industry Specifications for Towing<\/h1>\n

Depending on how they are equipped, compact trucks are generally capable of towing anywhere between 2,000 and 7,000 pounds of weight and cargo. Larger or standard size trucks are known to haul between 4 or five tons. Full-sized trucks that are equipped with upgraded engine and suspension configurations can haul much heavier loads, upwards of 6 tons or more. In order to accurately determine your vehicle\u2019s towing capacity, simply calculate its GVW, or gross vehicle weight, and figuring the gross combination weight rating for your car or truck. This equation calculates your vehicle\u2019s weight with the weight of your cargo, to determine which tow capacity range your tow falls in. <\/p>\n

Many cities have public weight stations that allow you to pull your vehicle directly onto a scale, for a small fee. When determining the weight of your trailer, be sure to add the weight of the trailer tongue as well. Add both numbers together for your gross vehicle weight, then match this weight to the appropriate vehicle-type that can safely haul your cargo.<\/p>\n
