Otherwise, maximum trailer weight is 10000 lb (4536 kg). For high altitude operation reduce GCWR by 2% per 1000 ft. (300 m) elevation. To determine the maximum trailer weight designed for your particular vehicle as equipped, follow the section Vehicle loading - with and without a trailer earlier in this chapter. Preparing to tow Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is properly attached to your vehicle. Contact your authorized dealer or a reliable trailer dealer as soon as possible if you require assistance. 185 2010 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
