Towing Loads
Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake
instability. Always follow these precautions when towing:
1. Never load more than 68.1 kg (150 lbs.) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
2. Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 (if equipped) when transporting heavy
loads and/or when towing.
3. When towing a disabled RANGER vehicle, place the disabled vehicle's transmission in
neutral. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 16 km/h (10 MPH) when towing.
4. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 16 km/h (10 MPH) when towing. See page 46.
Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
5. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the towing capacity
chart below and the specifications charts beginning on page 90.
6. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other
location or you may lose control of the vehicle.
7. Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
