INTRODUCTION
The 2-inch hitch receiver tube in the Grenadier’s Vertical Towing
Interface is designed to accommodate standard American ball
mounts. It also has mounting holes for European tow balls, NATO
hitches, and pintle hitches. Depending on the weight and type of
your trailer, choose a hitch that suits your needs and complies
with all local laws for your intended use. Make sure the hitch is
correctly installed and has a rating that will more than
accommodate the weight of the loaded trailer.
If equipped your Grenadier will have a 7 at pin
trailer electrical
connector.
Towing a trailer is particularly demanding. Read and follow the
instructions and precautions that follow.
CHOICE OF TRAILER
Make sure
that you choose a trailer that complies with all
applicable laws and regulations. Check with your local motor
vehicle department or division and with recognized authorities ,
such as, the National Highway Trac Safety Administration. (See.,
e.g., https://one.nhtsa.gov/cars/problems/equipment/towing/) .
