TRAILER HITCH
Your vehicle has a class 3 trailer
hitch as standard equipment.
The cover, the ball mount, the hitch
pin, the hitch pin clip, and the jumper
harness are stored in the In-Bed
Trunk.
Also see page 223 for trailer-related
information.
Installing the Cover
TRAILER HITCH COVER
Always use the cover when you are
not using the ball mount to keep dirt,
mud, and snow from clogging the
hitch.
To install the cover, slide it into the
opening at the end of the trailer
hitch. To remove the cover, pull it
out and store it in a safe place.
