• 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.

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.

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is

properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer

dealer if you require assistance.

Hitches

Do not use hitches that clamp onto the vehicle’s bumper or attach to the

axle. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that 10%–15% of the

total weight of the trailer is on the tongue.

Load equalizing hitch

When hooking up a trailer using a load equalizing hitch, always use the

following procedure:

1. Park the unloaded vehicle on a level surface. With the ignition in the

ON position, apply the brake and place the gearshift lever in

(Overdrive) for 10 seconds, then return the gearshift lever to P (Park)

and release the brake. With the ignition still in the ON position, and all

doors closed, allow the vehicle to stand (without passengers) for several

minutes so that it can level.

2. Turn the air suspension (if equipped) control to OFF.

3. Measure the height of a reference point on the front and rear bumpers

at the center of the vehicle.
