Matching trailer ball height to trailer coupler height
■ Before towing
Check that the following conditions are met:
●
Ensure that your vehicle’s tires are properly inflated. (  P. 604)
●
Trailer tires are inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s recommen-
dation.
●
All trailer lights work as required by law.
●
All lights work each time you connect them.
●
The trailer ball is set at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.
●
The trailer is level when it is hitched.
Do not drive if the trailer is not level, and check for improper tongue weight,
overloading, worn suspension, or other possible causes.
●
The trailer cargo is securely loaded.
●
The rear view mirrors conform to all applicable federal, state/provincial or
local regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for tow-
ing purposes.
■ Break-in schedule
If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components
(such as an engine, transmission, differential or wheel bearing), Toyota rec-
ommends that you do not tow a trailer until the vehicle has been driven for
over 500 miles (800 km).
After the vehicle has been driven for over 500 miles (800 km), you can start
towing. However, for the next 500 miles (800 km), drive the vehicle at a speed
of less than 50 mph (80 km/h) when towing a trailer, and avoid full throttle
acceleration.
No matter which class of tow hitch
applies, for a safe trailer hookup, the
trailer ball setup on must be proper height
for the coupler on the trailer.
