Trailer Towing Connector (Vehicles with a Trailer Towing Package
and 7–Pin Connector)

When attaching the trailer wiring
connector to your vehicle, only use
a proper fitting connector that
works with the vehicle and trailer
functions. If your vehicle has a
trailer towing package, it may have
a 7–pin connector. Some connectors
may have the SAE J2863 logo,
which confirms that it is the proper

wiring connector and works correctly with your vehicle.

Hitches

WARNING: The trailer hitch on this vehicle is part of the vehicle
rear crash safety structure. Do not remove the trailer hitch.

Failure to follow this warning could compromise vehicle crash structure
and increase the risk of injury in a rear end crash.

Do not use a hitch that clamps onto your vehicle’s bumper. Use a
load-carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that
10–15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue.

Integrated Hitch Rating

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.
