with all of the vehicle wheels on
the ground.
Towing trailers beyond the
maximum recommended
gross trailer weight exceeds the
limit of the vehicle and could
result in engine damage,
transmission damage, structural
damage, loss of control and
personal injury.
Preparing to tow
Use the proper equipment for
towing a trailer and make sure that
it is properly attached to your
vehicle. See your dealer or a
reliable trailer retailer if you
require assistance.
If your vehicle is not equipped
with the factory heavy duty trailer
tow option, auxiliary coolers are
recommended for the automatic
transmission system if you are
planning on:
• traveling farther than 80 km (50
miles)
• towing in hilly terrain
• towing frequently
Calculating trailer loads
To determine the amount of weight
that your vehicle can carry:
• Obtain ratings from the Safety
Compliance Certification label
and the trailer towing
specifications in this chapter.
