It is important that you make sure your vehicle does not

exceed any of its ratings — GCWR, GVWR, RGAWR,

Maximum Trailer Rating or Tongue Weight. The

only way to be sure you are not exceeding any of these

ratings is to weigh your vehicle and trailer.

Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires

Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inﬂated to the upper limit

for cold tires. You will ﬁnd these numbers on the

Certiﬁcation/Tire label at the rear edge of the driver’s

door or see Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-21.

Then be sure you do not go over the GVW limit for your

vehicle, including the weight of the trailer tongue.

Hitches

It is important to have the correct hitch equipment.

Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are

a few reasons why you will need the right hitch. Here

are some rules to follow:

• The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for

hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or other

bumper-type hitches to them. Use only a

frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to the

bumper.

• Will you have to make any holes in the body of

your vehicle when you install a trailer hitch?

If you do, remember to seal the holes later when

you remove the hitch. If you do not seal them,

deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust

can get into your vehicle. See Engine Exhaust

on page 2-41. Dirt and water can, too.

Safety Chains

You should always attach chains between your vehicle

and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the

tongue of the trailer to help prevent the tongue from

contacting the road if it becomes separated from

the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be

provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer

manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not

attach them to the bumper. Always leave just enough

slack so you can turn with your rig. Never allow

safety chains to drag on the ground.

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (450 kg)

loaded, then it needs its own brakes – and they must be

adequate. Be sure to read and follow the instructions

for the trailer brakes so you will be able to install, adjust,

and maintain them properly.

Because your vehicle may have anti-lock brakes, do not

try to tap into your vehicle’s brake system. If you do,

both brake systems will not work well, or at all.
