Trailer Towing Connector (Vehicles Equipped with a Trailer-towing

You must use a four-pin trailer wiring connector for

Hitches
Do not use a hitch that clamps onto your vehicle’s bumper. Use a
load-carrying hitch.
Distribute the trailer load so 10-15% of the total trailer weight is on the
tongue.
Safety Chains
Note:
Never attach safety chains to the bumper.
Always connect the safety chains to the hook retainers of your vehicle
hitch.
To connect the safety chains, cross them under the trailer tongue and
allow enough slack for turning tight corners. Do not allow the chains to
drag on the ground.
