For high altitude operation, reduce GCW by 2% per 1,000 ft. (300 meters)
elevation.
*When towing on roads with steep grades or moderate but long sustained
grades (5 miles [8 km] or more), or when ambient temperatures exceed 100°F
(37°C), vehicle speed should not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) in both cases.
For definition of terms used in this table see

chapter.
To determine maximum trailer weight designed for your particular vehicle, see
Vehicle Loading
earlier in this chapter.
Maximum trailer weight is shown. The combined weight of the completed
towing vehicle (including hitch, passengers and cargo) and the loaded trailer
must not exceed the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).
The Ranger is capable of pulling the maximum trailer weight(s) as specified
above. Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a specified
weight. The Ranger vehicle electrical system is not equipped to accommodate
electric trailer brakes.
