Driving while you tow
When towing a trailer:
Keep your speed no faster than 70 mph (112 km/h), and don't make
full throttle starts.
Turn off the speed control. The speed control may shut off
automatically when you are towing on long, steep grades.
Consult your local motor vehicle speed regulations for towing a trailer.
To eliminate excessive shifting, use a lower gear. This will also assist
in transmission cooling. (For additional information, refer to the
Driving with a 5–speed automatic transmission section in the
Driving chapter.)
Under extreme conditions with large frontal trailers, high outside
temperatures and highway speeds, the coolant gauge may indicate
higher than normal coolant temperatures. If this occurs, reduce speed
until the coolant temperature returns to the normal range. Refer to
Engine coolant temperature gauge in the Instrument Cluster
chapter.
Anticipate stops and brake gradually.
Do not exceed the GCWR rating or transmission damage may occur.
