FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER HITCH
Your vehicle has a fifth-wheel prep
package. This package enables your
vehicle to accept certain fifth-wheel trailer
hitches and gooseneck ball hitches. The
fifth-wheel trailer hitch attaches to the four
mounting pads in the pick-up bed. A 7-pin
trailer wiring connector could be in the bed
as well. The gooseneck ball hitch is a
separate mounting pad from the
fifth-wheel hitch in the center of the bed.
Shorter pick-up boxes provide less
clearance between the cab and the
fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailer
compared to longer box pick-ups. When
selecting a trailer and tow vehicle, it is
critical to check that this combination
provides clearance between the front of
the trailer and tow vehicle for turns up to
90°. Failure to follow this recommendation
could result in the trailer contacting the
cab of the tow vehicle during tight turns
that are typical during low-speed parking
and turning maneuvers. This contact could
result in damage to the trailer and tow
vehicle.
Note: Contact an authorized dealer to
purchase gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitches
that are compatible with your vehicle.
Note: The mounting pads in the bed are
specifically designed for certain fifth-wheel
trailer hitches and gooseneck ball hitches.
Do not use these mounting pads for other
purposes. CONNECTING A TRAILER
Recognizing a Trailer
1.
Attach the trailer and wiring connector
to your vehicle.
2. Switch on your vehicle.
3. Set up a profile for the trailer using the
instrument cluster display.
Note: If your vehicle does not recognize the
trailer, press and hold the brake pedal for a
few seconds.
Note: Trailer profiles store trailer types,
dimensions, preferences, trailer specific
mileage and fuel economy.
Note: Disabling the trailer detection
notification makes the default trailer profile
active when a connection is detected. When attaching the trailer wiring connector
to your vehicle, only use a proper fitting
connector that works with the vehicle and
trailer functions.

6. If the trailer wheels lock up, indicated
by squealing tires, reduce the gain
setting. If the trailer wheels turn freely,
increase the gain setting. Repeat Steps
5 and 6 until the gain setting is at a
point just below trailer wheel lock-up.
If towing a heavier trailer, trailer wheel
lock-up may not be attainable even
with the maximum gain setting of 10.
Note: Only perform this procedure at
speeds of approximately 20– 25 mph
(30–40 km/h).
Note: The trailer brake controller reduces
output at vehicle speeds below
11 mph
(18 km/h) so that trailer and vehicle braking
is not jerky or harsh. This feature is only
available when applying the brakes using
your vehicle's brake pedal, not the
controller.
Note: Your vehicle's brake system and the
trailer brake system work independently of
each other. Changing the gain setting on the
controller does not affect the operation of
your vehicle's brakes whether you attach a
trailer or not.
Note: With the proper electrical connection,
pressing your vehicle brake pedal or using
the manual control lever illuminates both
trailer and vehicle brake lamps.
Note: When you switch the engine off, the
controller output is disabled and the display
and module shut down. The controller
module and display turn on when you switch
the ignition on. Adjusting the Trailer Brake Gain
Increase or decrease the amount
of gain in set increments.
A
Slide the control to engage the
trailer brakes.
B
Note: Adjust gain setting before using the
trailer brake controller for the first time.
Note: The gain should be set to provide the
maximum trailer braking assistance while
making sure the trailer wheels do not lock
when using the brakes. Locked trailer wheels
may lead to trailer instability.
Note: Setting adjustments are saved when
a trailer profile is selected.
ADJUSTING THE INTEGRATED
TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER
MODE
Select the correct integrated trailer brake
controller mode option using the
instrument cluster display.
Note: Trailer brake gain settings are saved
to the active trailer profile.

Positioning the Trailer
Hitch the trailer to your vehicle and
connect the electrical wiring harness.
Check to make sure that the wiring is
working. See Connecting a Trailer (page
323).
Park your vehicle and hitched trailer on a
level surface.
For best results, make sure that your trailer
rides level with the ground when you hitch
your vehicle. See
Connecting a Trailer
(page 323). Make sure that the trailer and your vehicle
are in line with each other. You can do this
by putting the transmission in drive (D) and
pulling straight forward.

The horizontal distance from the
license plate to the center of the
ball hitch on the trailer.
A
The horizontal distance from the
center of the ball hitch to the
center of the sticker.
B
The point to point distance from
the rear view camera to the
center of the sticker.
C
The horizontal distance from the
tailgate to the center of the
trailer axle or axles.
D
Note: Distance D is the center of the axles
for trailers with more than one axle.
Note: Round distance D to the nearest
inch or centimeter.
Note: When rounding in inches, round
upward if the measured length is a quarter
inch or greater. Round downward if the
measured length is less than a quarter inch.
For example, 12.25 in (31.11 cm) would be
rounded up to 12.50 in (31.75 cm). 12.13 in
(30.8 cm) would be rounded down to
12.00 in (30.48 cm). Note:
When rounding in centimeters, round
to the nearest whole centimeter. If the
measurement is less than
0.2 in (0.5 cm)
round downward. If the measurement is
more than or equal to 0.2 in (0.5 cm) round
upward. For example, 11.9 in (30.3 cm)
would be rounded down to
11.8 in (30 cm).
12.0 in (30.5 cm) would be rounded up to
12.2 in (31 cm).
Entering the Measurements
Follow the prompts in the instrument
cluster display to enter each of the
measurements. Use the up and down
arrows to increase or decrease the
numbers, as necessary. Press OK to
confirm each measurement. When you add
the last measurement, the instrument
cluster display shows all the
measurements entered. You can choose
to confirm or change the measurements.
Confirming the Sticker Placement
