GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATINGS (GCWR)
You may prefer to use Gross Combination Weight Ratings (GCWRs) to determine the
engine and rear axle ratio you will require to tow a specific trailer with your Canyon.
The chart below shows you the maximum allowable GCWR based on all the available
engines and axle ratios for both automatic and manual transmission equipped vehicles.
The GCWR includes the total loaded weight of both the tow vehicle and the trailer.
Any available powertrain may be used for trailering if the GCWR shown is not exceeded.
Canyons are designed for people who want a purposeful, mid-size pickup providing efficiency, driving and parking ease
in a vehicle that meets their work and recreational needs. Canyons are true pickup trucks, with body-on-frame construction,
Regular, Extended and Crew Cab models, manual or automatic transmissions, rear- or four-wheel drive, and ample
power from two very fuel-efficient engines. Canyons provide outstanding performance, payload and towing capacity.

NOTES:
• Maximum trailer ratings are calculated assuming standard equipped vehicle,
driver and required trailering equipment. The weight of optional equipment,
passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can
tow. 10 to 15% of the trailer weight is the recommended trailer tongue load.
• Trailering capacity may be limited by tow vehicle ability to carry trailer tongue weight.
• A Trailer Towing Package including a 4-pin harness connector and trailer
hitch receiver is available to facilitate trailering with a Torrent.
