Your vehicle has a class 3 trailer
hitch as standard equipment.

The cover, the ball mount, the hitch
pin, the hitch pin clip, and the jumper
harness are stored in the In-Bed
Trunk.

Also see page

for trailer-related

information.

Always use the cover when you are
not using the ball mount to keep dirt,
mud, and snow from clogging the
hitch.

To install the cover, slide it into the
opening at the end of the trailer
hitch. To remove the cover, pull it
out and store it in a safe place.

Install the ball mount before you tow
a trailer. Check for and remove
foreign material inside of the trailer
hitch before installing the ball mount.

To install the ball mount, slide it into
the trailer hitch. Line up the holes in
the trailer hitch with the holes in the
ball mount, then insert the hitch pin
into the hole. Secure the hitch pin
with the hitch pin clip.
