WARNING: The hitch rating listed on the trailer hitch label are

maximum possible trailer ratings for that hitch but may not be

what your vehicle is capable of towing. To find the maximum trailer

weight allowed for your specific vehicle, consult your authorized dealer

(or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide provided by your authorized

dealer).

WARNING: 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.

Weight-distributing hitch

When hooking-up a trailer using a weight-distributing hitch, always use

the following procedure:

1. Park the vehicle (without the trailer) on a level surface.

2. Measure the height of the top of the front wheel opening on the

fender, this is H1.

3. Attach the trailer to the vehicle without the weight distributing bars

connected.

4. Measure the height of the top of the front wheel opening on the

fender a second time, this is H2.

5. Install and adjust the tension in the weight distributing bars so that

the height of the front fender is approximately halfway between H1 and

H2.

6. Check that the trailer is level. If not level, adjust the ball height

accordingly and repeat Steps 3–6.

WARNING: Do not adjust a weight-distributing hitch to any

position where the rear bumper of the vehicle is higher than it

was before attaching the trailer. Doing so will defeat the function of

the weight-distributing hitch, which may cause unpredictable handling,

and could result in serious personal injury.

Fifth-wheel trailer hitch (if equipped)

To find the maximum trailer weight allowed for your vehicle, consult

your authorized dealer (or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide provided

by your authorized dealer).
