If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer

If you do, here are some important points:

• There are many different laws, including speed limit

restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure

your rig will be legal, not only where you live

but also where you will be driving. A good source

for this information can be state or provincial police.

• Consider using a sway control. See “Hitches” later in

this section.

• Do not tow a trailer at all during the ﬁrst

500 miles (800 km) your new vehicle is driven.

Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.

• During the ﬁrst 500 miles (800 km) that you

tow a trailer, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h)

and do not make starts at full throttle. This

helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle

wear in at the heavier loads.

Three important considerations have to do with weight:

• Weight of the trailer

• Weight of the trailer tongue

• Weight on your vehicle’s tires

Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?

Your vehicle can tow up to 3,500 lbs (1 575 kg). But

even that can be too heavy.

It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For

example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside

temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull

a trailer are all important. It can also depend on any

special equipment that you have on your vehicle,

and the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can carry.

See “Weight of the Trailer Tongue” later in this

section for more information.

Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming only the

driver is in the tow vehicle and it has all the required

trailering equipment. The weight of additional optional

equipment, passengers and cargo in the tow vehicle

must be subtracted from the maximum trailer weight.

Ask your dealer/retailer for our trailering information or

advice, or write us at our Customer Assistance

Offices. See Customer Assistance Offices on page 7-5

for more information.
