Trailer And Tongue Weight
Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in
the front of the trailer. This places 10% of the
GTW on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads
balanced over the wheels or heavier in the rear
can cause the trailer to sway severely side to
side which will cause loss of control of the
vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers
heavier in front is the cause of many trailer
collisions. Never exceed the maximum tongue
weight stamped on your trailer hitch.
Consider the following items when computing
the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
•
The tongue weight of the trailer
•
The weight of any other type of cargo or
equipment put in or on your vehicle
•
The weight of the driver and all passengers
NOTE:
Remember that everything put into or on the
trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also,
additional
factory-installed
options
or
dealer-installed options must be considered
as part of the total load on your vehicle.
Refer to “Tire Safety Information/Tire and
Loading Information Placard” in “Starting
and Operating” for further information.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle
drivetrain components, the following guidelines
are recommended.
CAUTION!
•
Do not tow a trailer at all during the first
500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is
driven. The engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.
•
Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km)
that a trailer is towed, do not drive over
50 mph (80 km/h) and do not make starts
at full throttle. This helps the engine and
other parts of the vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.
Perform the maintenance listed in the “Service
and Warranty Handbook.” Refer to “Service and
Warranty Handbook” for the proper mainte-
nance intervals. When towing a trailer, never
exceed the GAWR or GCWR ratings.
