The frame mounted hitch receiver is non-removable.
Towing a Class IV trailer (extra heavy duty) 2,268–4,536 kg
(5,001–10,000 lbs.) trailer weight requires a weight-distributing
or fifth-wheel hitch.
Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
certification label.
Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.
Preparing to tow
Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your dealer or a reliable trailer
dealer if you require assistance.
