The maximum weight of the trailer
and everything in or on it depends on
the number of occupants in your
vehicle and the type of trailer being
towed (see page

).

Towing a load that is too heavy can
seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling and performance.

Your vehicle has been designed to
tow a trailer, as well as carrying
passengers and their cargo. To
safety tow a trailer, you should
carefully observe the load limits (see
page ), use the proper equipment,
and follow the guidelines in this
section.

Be sure to read the

section on page

if you plan to tow off paved

surfaces.

The weight that the tongue of a fully-
loaded trailer puts on the hitch
should follow the recommended load
guidelines (see page ). Too
much tongue load reduces front-tire
traction and steering control. Too
little tongue load can make the
trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
