Towing Loads

Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability. Always follow these precautions when towing:
  1. Never load more than 150 lb (68.1 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
  2. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h) when towing. See page 39. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
  3. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the towing capacity chart below and the specifications charts beginning on page 68.
  4. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other location or you may lose control of the vehicle.
  5. Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
