Driving Safely

Towing Loads

Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control
or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death. Always follow
these precautions when towing:
Never load more than 150 lbs. (68 kg) tongue weight on the towing bracket.
Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h) when towing. See
page 52. Towing a trailer increases braking distance.
Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle.
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.
Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
