Light Duty Towing Class

At 1,000 lbs, you'll want to stick with lighter trailers. We always recommend staying around 80% of your max (that's 800 lbs for you) — it's easier on your truck and gives you a safety buffer for hills and headwinds.

What Real Owners Get

We pulled data from 23 actual 300 owners — they're averaging 19.6 mpg day-to-day. Once you hook up a trailer, expect somewhere between 10.8-14.7 mpg depending on what you're pulling.

Budget Your Trip

Let's say you're planning a 500-mile trip while towing. At 10.8 mpg, you're looking at roughly $148 in fuel. That works out to about $30 per 100 miles — handy to know when you're planning adventures.

What does GVWR mean and why should I care?

GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating — yours is 5,100 lbs. Think of it as the maximum your truck can weigh when it's fully loaded with people, gear, fuel, everything. Exceed it and you're putting extra stress on your brakes, suspension, and tires. Not worth the risk.
