a trailer safely and efficiently. The trailer tow
hitch must be attached to your vehicle using the
provided attaching points on the vehicle's frame.
Refer to the following chart to determine the
accurate attaching points. Other equipment,
such as trailer sway controls and braking equip-
ment, trailer equalizing (leveling) equipment and
low profile mirrors, may also be required or
