Hitch Receiver Cover
To reinstall the hitch receiver cover after towing repeat
the procedure in reverse order.
NOTE: Be sure to engage all tabs of the hitch receiver
cover in the bumper fascia prior to installation.

Trailer And Tongue Weight

Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in the front
of the trailer. This places 10% of the GTW on the tow
hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the wheels or
heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to sway severely
side to side which will cause loss of control of the vehicle
and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the
cause of many trailer collisions. Never exceed the maxi-
mum tongue weight stamped on your trailer hitch.
