Towing Loads
Always follow these precautions when towing:
-
Never load more than 150 lb (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
-
When transporting heavy loads and/or when towing, always operate the vehicle in low gear.
-
Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 kph) when towing. See the Hauling Cargo section. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
-
Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the Specifications chapter for this vehicle’s maximum weight capacity.
-
Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other location or you may lose control of the vehicle.
-
Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
