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
l
device with sufficient capacity.
The gross combined weight (sum of your vehicle weight plus its load and
l
the total trailer weight) must not exceed the following.
2WD models
9200 lb. (4173 kg)

9500 lb. (4309 kg)
Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
l
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About
l
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
l
another vehicle.
Hitches
n
l 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.
l
Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
l
l Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.
Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce
l
the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is
struck from behind.
