Trailer frontal area considerations:
• Not to exceed towing vehicle frontal area without Class IV trailer

towing package

• Not to exceed 60 square feet (5.52 square meters) with Class IV

trailer towing package

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your authorized 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.
