Vehicle Weight:
The weight of this
vehicle is near the Class III, 5,000 lb. rating
limitations. Some models, depending on
options, may well exceed this 5,000 lb
rating. Be sure to confirm the weight of your
individual vehicle before towing. As of 1999
the Aventa
®
II is now 10,000 lbs. and either the
Aventa
®
II or the Aventa
®
LX tow bar must be
used for these applications.
Tow Bar Adapters are NOT to be used with
vehicles weighing over 5,000 lbs.
Installation Notes:
The grille and
bumper are removed and reinstalled during
installation of the baseplate. Trimming of the
fascia is required.
The dimensional variations between otherwise
identical vehicles can be considerable.
While the baseplate was designed for easy
installation, it may be necessary to tailor the
baseplate slightly to compensate for auto
manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor
adjustments may include filing a hole slightly,
bending electrical rods and/ or bending end
plates.
The BX8869 Bulb & Socket Wiring Kit is
recommended for this vehicle.
