• This information also applies to models with Pickup Box Delete option (66D).

• Trailer tongue load weight should be 10-15% of total loaded trailer weight. Make sure vehicle payload (reduced by option weight) will accommodate trailer tongue load weight and
weight of passengers and cargo added to towing vehicle. Addition of trailer tongue load weight and weight of passengers and cargo cannot cause vehicle weights to exceed rear
GAWR or GVWR. These ratings can be found on the vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Label.
