Towing Loads
Always follow these precautions when towing:
-
Never load more than 68.1 kg (150 lbs.) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
-
Always shift to low gear for towing.
-
When towing a disabled RANGER vehicle, place the disabled vehicle’s transmission in neutral. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 16 km/h (10 MPH) when towing.
-
Towing a trailer increases braking distance. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 16 km/h (10 MPH) when towing.
-
Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the towing capacity chart below and the specifications chart beginning on Specifications.
-
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°.
-
Always be mindful of the trailer’s reaction to vehicle movements when driving off-road.

Belt Life
To extend belt life, use the lowest gear possible when hauling or towing heavy cargo. Using high gear for heavy loads, hilly terrain or in wet, muddy conditions will increase the chance of drive belt burning.
