Bryan Matthews Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 We have a 2009 Journey SXT. If we add a Curt Class III hitch to it, will it be able to pull the following camper? Fleetwood Westlake • Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), (lbs.) 3000 • Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW), (lbs.) 2135 • Unloaded Tongue Weight (UTW), (lbs.) 160 Thanks for any and all advice in advance.

Doug D Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 According to my owner's manual, unless you have the Trailer Tow Prep Package, you're limited to 7,300 lbs GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) and a tailer weight of 1,000 - 2,000 lbs depending on the number of passengers and luggage. Tongue weight would be limted to 100-200 lbs. That assumes the 3.5L V6 is the engine. With the Trailer Tow Prep Package the GCWR is 8,300 lbs and gross trailer weight can be up to 3,000 lbs. Remember the GCW (Gross Combined Weight) - that is the weight of the vehicle, trailer and everything in them including passengers - cannot be legally exceeded. IMHO, even with the trailer prep package you would be borderline overweight. It wouldn't take much "stuff" and people to push you overweight.
