Before emergency towing, check that
the hook is not broken or damaged and
that the installation bolts are not loose.

Fasten the towing cable or chain se-
curely to the hook.

Do not jerk the hook. Apply steady and
even force.

To avoid damaging the hook, do not
pull from the side or at a vertical
angle. Always pull straight ahead.
CAUTION
If the emergency towing hook is used
to get out when your vehicle becomes
stuck in the mud, sand or other
condition from which the vehicle can-
not be driven out under its own pow-
er, make sure to observe the precau-
tions mentioned below. Otherwise, ex-
cessive stress will be put on the
hook and the towing cable or chain
may break, causing serious injury or
damage.

If the towing vehicle can hardly
move, do not forcibly continue the
towing. Contact your Toyota dealer
or a commercial tow truck service
for assistance.

Tow the vehicle as straight ahead
as possible.

Keep away from the vehicle during
towing.
The following methods are effective to
use when your vehicle is stuck in the
mud, sand or other condition from
which the vehicle cannot be driven out
under its own power. Use extreme cau-
tion when towing the vehicle. In addi-
tion, keep away from the vehicles and
towing cable or chain when towing.

Remove the sand and soil in the front
and the back of the tires.

Place stones or wood under the tires.

Transportation. It provides the purchasers
and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota
vehicles with information on truck- camper
loading. Your Toyota dealer will help an-
swer any questions you may have as you
read this information.

CAUTION
If a load is too far back, it can cause
dangerous handling. If it is too far
forward, the front axle may be over-
loaded.

When the truck is used to carry a slide- in
camper, the total cargo load of the truck
consists of the manufacturer 's camper
weight figure, the weight of installed addi-
tional camper equipment not included in
the manufacturer 's camper weight figure,
the weight of camper cargo, and the
weight of passengers in the camper. The total cargo load should not exceed
the truck's cargo weight rating and the
camper 's center of gravity should fall with-
in the truck's recommended center of
gravity zone when installed.
CAUTION
Be carefulÐoverloading can cause
dangerous braking and handling prob-
lems, and can damage your vehicle
and its tires.
Gross axle weight rating
Front GAWR Rear GAWR
Secure loose items to prevent weight
shifts that could affect the balance of your
vehicle. When the truck camper is loaded,
drive to a scale and weigh on the front
and on the rear wheels separately to de-
termine axle loads. Individual axle loads
should not exceed either of the Gross
Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of
the axle loads should not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
These ratings are given on the vehicle
Certification Label which is located on the
door latch post on the left side of the
vehicle. See Your Toyota's identificationº
in Part 2 for the Certification Label loca-
tion. If weight ratings are exceeded, move
or remove items to bring all weights below
the ratings.
