Examples: For a 2268 kg (5000 lbs.) conventional
trailer, multiply 5000 by 0.10 and 0.15 to obtain a
proper tongue load range of 227 to 340 kg (500 to
750 lbs.). For an 5216 kg (11,500 lbs.) fifth wheel
trailer, multiply by 0.15 and 0.25 to obtain a proper
king pin load range of 782 to 1304 kg (1,725 to
2,875 lbs.)

Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification label.

Do not use replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the originals

because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and
GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher
limit than the originals do not increase the GVWR
and GAWR limitations.

Exceeding any vehicle weight rating
limitation could result in serious damage to

the vehicle and/or personal injury.

TRAILER TOWING

Your vehicle is not equipped to tow. No towing
packages are available through Ford or
Lincoln/Mercury dealers.

RECREATIONAL TOWING (ALL WHEELS ON
THE GROUND)

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain
combination to tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground (such as behind a recreational
vehicle).

These guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged due to insufficient
lubrication.
