Trailer towing tips

•

Practice turning, stopping and backing up before starting on a trip to
get the feel of the vehicle trailer combination. When turning, make
wider turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles.

•

Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached.

•

The trailer tongue weight should be 10–15% of the loaded trailer
weight.

•

If you will be towing a trailer frequently in hot weather, hilly
conditions, at GCWR, or any combination of these factors, consider
refilling your rear axle with synthetic gear lube if not already so
equipped. Refer to the

Maintenance and specifications

chapter for

the lubricant specification. Remember that regardless of the rear axle
lube used, do not tow a trailer for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of a
new vehicle, and that the first 500 miles (800 km) of towing be done
at no faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) with no full throttle starts.

•

Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles (800 km) after changing
the rear axle lube.

•

After you have traveled 50 miles (80 km), thoroughly check your
hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts.

•

When stopped in traffic for long periods of time in hot weather, place
the gearshift in P (Park) and increase idle speed. This aids engine
cooling and air conditioner efficiency.

•

Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. If you must
park on a grade, place wheel chocks under the trailer’s wheels.

Launching or retrieving a boat

Disconnect the wiring to the trailer before backing the trailer
into the water. Reconnect the wiring to the trailer after the
trailer is removed from the water.

When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval:

•

do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of
the rear bumper.

•

do not allow waves to break higher than 6 inches (15 cm) above the
bottom edge of the rear bumper.

Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components:

•

causing internal damage to the components.

•

affecting driveability, emissions and reliability.
