Truck and utility vehicles can differ fromsome other vehicles. Your vehicle may behigher to allow it to travel over rough terrainwithout getting hung up or damagingunderbody components.
The differences that make your vehicle soversatile also make it handle differently thanan ordinary passenger car.
Maintain steering wheel control at all times,especially in rough terrain. Since suddenchanges in terrain can result in abruptsteering wheel motion, make sure you gripthe steering wheel from the outside. Do notgrip the spokes.
Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damagefrom concealed objects such as rocks andstumps.
You should either know the terrain orexamine maps of the area before driving.Map out your route before driving in the area.To maintain steering and braking control ofyour vehicle, you must have all four wheelson the ground and they must be rolling, notsliding or spinning.
Driving Off-Road With Truck and UtilityVehicles
Note:On some models, the initial shift fromtwo-wheel drive to four-wheel drive whenthe vehicle is moving can cause somemomentary clunk and ratcheting sounds.This is the front drivetrain coming up tospeed and the automatic locking hubsengaging and is not cause for concern.
Note:Your vehicle may have a front air dam.Due to low ground clearance, you candamage it when taking your vehicle off-road.You can take the air dam off by removingthe bolts that secure it.
Four-wheel drive vehicles are speciallyequipped for driving on sand, snow, mud andrough terrain and have operatingcharacteristics that are somewhat differentfrom conventional vehicles, both on and offthe road.
Power is supplied to all four wheels througha transfer case. On four-wheel drive vehicles,the transfer case allows you to utilizedifferent 4X4 modes when necessary.Information on transfer case operation andshifting procedures can be found in this
chapter and the Driving Aids chapter.Information on transfer case maintenancecan be found in the Maintenance chapter.You should become thoroughly familiar withthis information before you operate yourvehicle.
Four-wheel drive, when you select a4X4-capable drive mode, it uses all fourwheels to power the vehicle. This increasestraction, enabling you to drive over terrainand road conditions that a conventionaltwo-wheel drive vehicle cannot.

Loaded vehicles, with highercenters of gravity, may handle differentlythan unloaded vehicles. Take extraprecautions, such as slower speeds andincreased stopping distance, when drivinga heavily loaded vehicle.
For correct roof rack system function, youmust place loads directly on crossbars affixedto the roof rack side rails. When using theroof rack system, we recommend using ourgenuine accessory crossbars designedspecifically for your vehicle.
Make sure that you securely fasten the load. Check the tightness of the load beforedriving and at each fuel stop.

1. Park the loaded vehicle, without thetrailer, on a level surface.
2. Measure the height to the top of yourvehicle's front wheel opening on thefender. This is H1.
3. Attach the loaded trailer to your vehiclewithout the weight-distributing barsconnected.
4. Measure the height to the top of yourvehicle's front wheel opening on thefender a second time. This is H2.
5. Install and adjust the tension in theweight-distributing bars so that the heightof your vehicle's front wheel opening onthe fender is approximately half the waydown from H2, toward H1.
6. Check that the trailer is level or slightlynose down toward your vehicle. If not,adjust the ball height accordingly andrepeat Steps 2-6.
When the trailer is level or slightly nose downtoward the vehicle:
•Lock the bar tension adjuster in place.
•Check that the trailer tongue securelyattaches and locks onto the hitch.
•Install safety chains, lighting and trailerbrake controls as required by law or thetrailer manufacturer.
Safety Chains
Note:Do not attach safety chains to thebumper. Always connect the safety chainsto the frame or hook retainers of your trailerhitch.
