TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

Note: This feature does not prevent trailer sway, but reduces it once it

begins.

Note: This feature cannot stop all trailers from swaying.

Note: In some cases, if vehicle speed is too high, the system may turn

on multiple times, gradually reducing vehicle speed.

This feature applies your vehicle brakes at individual wheels and, if

necessary, reduces engine power. If the trailer begins to sway, the

stability control light flashes and the message TRAILER SWAY

REDUCE SPEED appears in the information display. The first thing to

do is slow your vehicle down, then pull safely to the side of the road and

check for proper tongue load and trailer load distribution. See the Load

Carrying chapter for specific loading information.

RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS

Note: Do not exceed a trailer weight of 5000 pounds (2268 kilograms)

when towing with, or by, bumper only.

Note: Do not exceed a trailer weight of 5000 pounds (2268 kilograms) if

your vehicle is not equipped with a Heavy-duty Trailer Towing Package.

Note: The total area in square feet (meters) exposed to air resistance of

a moving vehicle and its trailer is the trailer frontal area. Consider the

following trailer frontal area limitations when selecting a trailer based on

your vehicle configuration:

• Equal to the base vehicle frontal area on vehicles not equipped with

the Trailer Tow Package or the Heavy Duty Payload Package.

• 60 feet

(5.57 meters

) on vehicles equipped with the Trailer Tow

Package or the Heavy Duty Payload Package.

Note: Exceeding these limitations may significantly reduce the performance

of your towing vehicle. Selecting a trailer with a low aerodynamic drag and

rounded front design helps optimize performance and fuel economy.

Note: For high altitude operation, reduce the gross combined weight by

2% per 1000 feet (300 meters) starting at the 1000 foot (300 meter)

elevation point.

Note: Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a

specified weight. Be sure to check state regulations for this specified

weight. The maximum trailer weights listed may be limited to this

specified weight, as your vehicle’s electrical system may not include the

wiring connector needed to use electric trailer brakes.
