Towing a trailer

Contact your Toyota dealer for further information about additional
requirements such as a towing kits, etc.

Hitch

Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities established
by the hitch manufacturer. Even though the vehicle may be rated for
towing a higher weight, the operator must never exceed the maxi-
mum weight rating specified for the trailer hitch.

Trailer tongue load
The trailer cargo load should be distributed so that the tongue
load is 9 to 11% of the total trailer weight, not exceeding the
maximum 100 lb. (45 kg). (Tongue load / Total trailer weight x
100 = 9 to 11%)

The total trailer weight and tongue load can be measured with
platform scales found at highway weighing stations, building
supply companies, trucking companies, junk yards, etc.
