In some cases towing a trailer will lead to a reduced payload due to the limits of the combined towing
weight.
On vehicles with a factory-installed towing package and front wheel drive the combined towing
weight must not exceed 9920 lbs (4501 kg), and with 4-wheel drive the combined towing weight must
not exceed 10150 lbs (4606 kg).
On vehicles without a factory-installed towing package (aftermarket towing package) and front wheel
drive the combined towing weight must not exceed 7730 lbs (3507 kg), and with 4-wheel drive the
combined towing weight must not exceed 7990 lbs (3627 kg).
This vehicle has not been designed to tow a Class IV trailer and must never be retrofitted to tow a
Class IV trailer. Always make sure that your vehicle has been designed to tow the trailer you want to
use and that it is legal to tow the trailer where you will be driving.
Loading the trailer
The weight distribution in the vehicle and trailer must be balanced. Use the maximum permissible
tongue weight and make sure that the load in the trailer is evenly distributed and that it is not front-
heavy or tail-heavy:
Distribute the load in the trailer so that heavy objects are directly above the axle or as close as
possible to the axle.
Secure loads properly on the trailer.
Tire pressure
Always follow the trailer manufacturer's tire pressure recommendations for the trailer tires.
When towing, inflate the towing vehicle's tires to the maximum permissible pressure listed on the tire
pressure label ⇒Tire inflation pressure .
WARNING
Exceeding the gross weight ratings for axle, tongue, vehicle, trailer or combined weight can
cause accidents and serious personal injury.
Never exceed the specified values.
Never let the actual weights at the front and rear axles exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating.
Never let the combined front and rear weights exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
