Trailer towing
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger carrying vehicle.
Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, perfor-
mance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption. For your safety
and the safety of others, do not overload the vehicle or trailer.
Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction caused by
towing a trailer for commercial purposes.
For towing purposes, we recommend use of the following parts:
●
When towing a caravan trailer etc., use a distributing hitch.
●
When the total trailer weight is grater than the vehicle weight,
use a sway control device.
■
Weight limits
Confirm that the total trailer weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits.
■
Gross vehicle weight
The gross vehicle weight must not exceed 1785 kg (3935 lb.).
The gross vehicle weight is the sum weight of the unloaded vehi-
cle, driver, passengers, luggage, hitch and trailer tongue load.
Also included is the weight of any special equipment installed on
your vehicle.
■
Gross axle weight
The load on either the front or rear axle resulting from distribu-
tion of the gross vehicle weight on both axles must not exceed
the following.
Front: 1100 kg (2425 lb.)
