Towing Load Limits
Total trailer weight
Maximum allowable weight of the
trailer, cargo, and everything in or on it
must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 kg).
Towing loads in excess of this can
seriously affect vehicle handling and
performance and can damage the
engine and drivetrain.
Tongue Load
The weight of the tongue with a fully
loaded trailer on the hitch should be
approximately 10% of the total trailer
weight.
• Excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction and steering control.
Too little tongue load can make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
• To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 60% of the load toward
the front of the trailer and 40% toward the rear. Readjust the load as
needed.
Exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer
can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to
drive.
Pre-tow Checklist
When preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
• The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the
cooling system are in good operating condition.
• Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle’s first 600 miles (1,000 km).

Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to
drive.
