Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling objects
can affect handling, stability, and risk of overturn or
other accidents.
Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or
pulling objects.
Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer
to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit.
Refer to label next to hitch for tongue weight
and trailer load limits.
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side
to side, and as low and as far forward as
possible.
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose
load could change handling unexpectedly or
be thrown forward and strike occupants.

Loading
Take extra precautions when driving with a load or
trailer. Follow these instructions and always use
common sense and good judgment when carrying
cargo or towing a trailer.
Prepare your load or trailer
WARNING
Improper loading or towing can increase the
risk of loss of control, an overturn, or other ac-
cident:

Do not exceed the Maximum Loading Lim-
its for the vehicle (see box or vehicle label-
ing).


Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far forward
as possible. Top-heavy loads increase the
risk of overturn. Be sure cargo is secured –
a loose load could change handling unex-
pectedly or strike occupants.

Do not exceed the maximum tongue
weight.


Make sure the load does not interfere with
your control or ability to see where you are
going.


Tie down cargo in the trailer securely.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move
around. A shifting load can cause an acci-
dent.
Use the hooks equipped on the cargo bed to tie
down loads.
Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for use
with a 5 cm (2 in) receiver. (See page 4-79 for
more information.)

You can measure tongue weight with a bathroom
scale. Put the tongue of the loaded trailer on the
scale with the tongue at hitch height. Adjust the
load in the trailer, if necessary, to reduce the
weight on hitch. If you are carrying cargo and tow-
ing a trailer, include the tongue weight in the max-
imum vehicle load limit.

Operating when loaded with cargo or towing a
trailer
Drive more slowly than you would without a load.
The more weight you carry, the slower you should
go. Although conditions vary, it is good practice to
keep the vehicle in low gear whenever you are car-
rying heavier loads or when towing a trailer.
WARNING
Carrying loads or towing a trailer can increase
the risk of loss of control, an overturn, or other
accident. To reduce the risk of an accident:

Reduce speed, operate in low gear only,
and allow more room to stop. A heavier ve-
hicle takes longer to stop.


Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose ter-
rain carefully. Use extreme caution when
towing or carrying a load on inclines.


Turn gradually and go slowly.
