Now that there are a few max towing packages in the wild I'd like to see if anyone knows the answer to this. Mine is on order, but I am also ordering a custom trailer for it. I was able to gather all of the standard towing capacity questions minus this one. The trailer manufacturer asked the following question and I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. He wrote

"You will need to find out the tongue capacity rating with weight distribution. It's written in the vehicle owner's manual under the towing section, or typically stamped directly on the hitch which is bolted to the vehicle chassis underneath the back bumper."

Thank you in advance.
