Prepare your load or trailer
WARNING
Improper loading or towing can increase
the risk of loss of control, an overturn, or
other accident:●
Do not exceed the Maximum Loading
Limits for the vehicle (see page 6-10
and vehicle labeling).
●
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward as possible. Top-heavy loads in-
crease the risk of overturn. Be sure
cargo is secured – a loose load could
change handling unexpectedly 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 accident.
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
4-28 for more information.)
