tow bar LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 2004 Owners Manual

Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of
control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.
INTEGRATED HITCH RATING
The standard integrated hitch has two ratings depending on mode of
operation:
• Weight carrying - requires a draw bar and hitch ball. The draw bar
supports all the vertical tongue load of the trailer.
• Weight distributing - requires an aftermarket weight distributing
system which includes draw bar, hitch ball, spring bars and snap-up
brackets. The vertical tongue load of the trailer is distributed between
the truck and the trailer by this system.
Mode Maximum Gross Trailer
Weight - kg (lbs.) Maximum Tongue
Weight - kg (lbs.)
Weight
carrying 2721 (6000) 272 (600)
Weight
distributing 4014 (8850) 401 (885)
These are hitch ratings only; actual vehicle ratings are dependent on
engine, transmission and axle combinations.
Towing trailers beyond the maximum tongue weight exceeds the
limit of the towing system and could result in vehicle structural
damage, loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac
, you may
experience AdvanceTrac
activations during typical cornering
maneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer; this is normal. Cornering at
slower speeds while towing will reduce the tendency of the
AdvanceTrac
stability enhancement system to activate.
