OPERATION

HAULING CARGO

Hauling cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of
control or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death.
Always follow these precautions when hauling cargo:
• Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle. When
determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of
the operator, passengers, non-factory installed accessories, loads in the
rack or box and the load on the trailer tongue. The combined weight of these
items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
• REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING
WHEN HAULING CARGO.
• Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as
possible.
• When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to
maintain stable driving conditions.
• Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling or towing loads.
• Slow down and drive in the lowest gear available. When transporting heavy
loads and/or when towing, always operate the vehicle in low gear and have
ADC activated (if equipped).
