CAUTION
■
To avoid accident or injury
●
The total trailer weight (trailer weight plus the weight of cargo) must not
exceed 5000 lb. (2265 kg)
●
If a trailer and cargo weight over 2000 lb. (907 kg), use a sway control
device with sufficient capacity.
●
The gross combined weight (sum of your vehicle weight plus its load and
the total trailer weight) must not exceed the following.
2WD models:
9200 lb. (4173 kg)
4WD models:
9500 lb. (4309 kg)
●
Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
●
Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About
60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining
40% in the rear.
●
The tow hitch receiver installed on your vehicle must never be used on
another vehicle.
■
Hitches
●
If you wish to install a trailer hitch, your Toyota dealer should be consulted.
●
Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement.
●
Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
●
Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.
●
Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce
the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is
struck from behind.
