Recreational Vehicle Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle

The two most common types of recreational vehicle
towing are known as "dinghy towing" (towing your
vehicle with all four wheels on the ground) and "dolly
towing" (towing your vehicle with two wheels on the
ground and two wheels up on a device known as
a "dolly").
Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with any of
its wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must be towed,

Loading Your Vehicle
The Certification/Tire label is found on the rear edge of
the driver's door.
The label shows the size of your original tires and the
inflation pressures needed to obtain the gross weight
capacity of your vehicle. This is called the GVWR
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
