Notes: For high altitude operation, reduce GCW by 2% per 300 meters
(1000 ft) elevation. For definitions of terms used in this table and
instructions on how to calculate your vehicle load, refer to Vehicle
loading in this chapter. Maximum trailer weights shown. The combined
weight of the completed towing vehicle and the loaded trailer must not
exceed the GCWR.
In ambient temperatures greater than 38°C (100°F), it is recommended
that the maximum GCW be reduced to 5262 kg (11600 lb.). At these
temperatures, vehicle speed should be kept below 97 km/h (60 mph)
during highway operation. Extended operation above 4000 rpm should
be avoided.
Towing a trailer over 1588 kg (3500 lb.) requires a weight distributing
hitch.
Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
certification label.
Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.

Preparing to tow

Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your authorized dealer or a
reliable trailer dealer if you require assistance.
