Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer

weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in

engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of

control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.

If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac娂, you may experience

AdvanceTrac娂 activations during typical cornering maneuvers with a

heavily loaded trailer; this is normal. Cornering at a slower speed while

towing will reduce the tendency of the AdvanceTrac娂 stability

enhancement system to activate.

Integrated hitch rating

The standard integrated hitch has two ratings depending on mode of

operation:

• Weight carrying - requires a draw bar and hitch ball. The draw bar

supports all the vertical tongue load of the trailer.

• 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.

Maximum

Tongue Weight

- kg (lbs.)

Weight carrying 2721 (6000) 272 (600)

Weight distributing 4060 (8950) 406 (895)

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.
