Trailering is different than just driving your vehicle

by itself. Trailering means changes in acceleration,

braking, handling, durability and fuel economy.

Successful, safe trailering takes correct equipment,

and it has to be used properly.

That’s the reason for this part. 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’ll 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.

• Don’t 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.

• Then, during the ﬁrst 500 miles (800 km) that

you tow a trailer, don’t drive over 50 mph

(80 km/h) and don’t make starts at full throttle.

This helps your engine and other parts of

your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.

• You can tow in DRIVE (D). You may want to

shift the transmission to THIRD (3) or, if

necessary, a lower gear selection if the

transmission shifts too often (e.g., under heavy

loads and/or hilly conditions). See “Tow/Haul

Mode” later in this section.

Three important considerations have to do with

weight:

• The weight of the trailer

• The weight of the trailer tongue

• The weight on your vehicle’s tires

Tow/Haul Mode

Tow/Haul is a feature that assists when pulling a

heavy trailer or a large or heavy load. The

purpose of the Tow/Haul mode is to:

• Reduce the frequency and improve the

predictability of transmission shifts when

pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.
