Loading Cargo
• Make sure the tires are properly inflated (page 217).
• Place all items on the floor of the cargo bed, and as far forward
and centered as possible.
• Use the tie-down hooks (page 93) to secure any items that could
shift position while you are driving.
• Do not let items extend over the side rails, as they could get
caught on something.
• Be aware that carrying tall, heavy items will significantly raise the
vehicle’s center of gravity, increasing the chance of a rollover.
• Never let a passenger ride in the cargo area or hang onto the side
of the vehicle, even for a short distance. The person could be
thrown off the vehicle or cause a crash.
• Before driving with heavy cargo or towing heavy loads,
shift the shift select lever into low-range (L) position.
