11. CARRYING LOADS
CARRYING LOADS
Cargo or a trailer can change the stability and handling of a vehicle.
You must use common sense and good judgment when carrying cargo
or towing a trailer. Keep the following points in mind:
Never exceed the weight limits shown. An overloaded vehicle can
be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
Cargo bed:
Trailer hitch:
Pulling load (total weight of trailer
and cargo):
Tongue weight (vertical weight on
trailer hitch point):
Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for use with a 5 cm (2 in)
receiver.
Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight. You can measure
tongue weight with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of the loaded
trailer on the scale with the tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in
the trailer, if necessary, to reduce the weight on hitch. If you are
carrying cargo and towing a trailer, include the tongue weight in the
maximum vehicle load limit.
Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to the center of the vehicle as
possible and tie it down using the cargo hooks equipped on the
cargo bed.
Tie down cargo securely in the trailer. Make sure cargo in the trailer
cannot move around. A shifting load can cause an accident.
