A recommended tongue load
king pin weight varies in accor-
dance with the types of trailers or
towing as described below.

In order to ensure the
mended values shown below, the
trailer must be loaded by referring
to the following instructions.
1. Conventional Towing
The tongue load is 9 to 11 % of
the Gross Trailer weight.
If the gross trailer weight is over
907 kg (2000 lbs), it is necessary
to use a sway control device with
sufficient capacity.
If the gross trailer weight is over
2268 kg (5000 lbs), it is necessary
to use a weight distributing hitch
with sufficient capacity.
If using a weight distributing
hitch when towing, keep your ve-
hicle level with the ground.

2. Fifth wheel Towing
The king pin weight is 15 to 25
or
% of the Gross Trailer weight.
Current fifth−wheel trailer designs
are not compatible with Short bed
(Crew Max models).
recom-
D
Trailer hitch assemblies have differ-
ent weight capacities established by
the hitch manufacturer. Even though
the vehicle may be physically capa-
ble of towing a higher weight, the
operator must determine the maxi-
mum weight rating of the particular
hitch assembly and never exceed
the maximum weight rating speci-
fied for the trailer−hitch. Exceeding
the maximum weight rating set by
the trailer hitch manufacturer can
cause an accident resulting in death
or serious personal injuries.
