To identify the trailering capacity of your vehicle,

you should read the information in “Weight of

the Trailer” that appears later in this section.

Trailering is different than just driving your vehicle

by itself. Trailering means changes in handling,

acceleration, braking, durability, and fuel economy.

Successful, safe trailering takes correct equipment,

and it has to be used properly.

That is the reason for this section. In it are many

time-tested, important trailering tips and safety

rules. Many of these are important for your safety

and that of your passengers. So please read

this section carefully before you pull a trailer.

If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer

If you do, here are some important points:

• There are many different laws, including speed

limit restrictions, having to do with trailering.

Make sure your rig will be legal, not only where

you live but also where you will be driving.

A good source for this information can be state

or provincial police.

• Consider using a sway control. See “Hitches”

later in this section.

• Do not tow a trailer at all during the ﬁrst

500 miles (800 km) your new vehicle is driven.

Your engine, axle or other parts could be

damaged.

• During the ﬁrst 500 miles (800 km) that

you tow a trailer, do not drive over 50 mph

(80 km/h) and do not make starts at full

throttle. This helps your engine and other parts

of your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.

Three important considerations have to do

with weight:

• Weight of the trailer

• Weight of the trailer tongue

• Weight on your vehicle’s tires
