242 Towing Hitches Do not use a hitch that clamps onto the vehicle's bumper; use a load-carrying hitch. You must distribute the load in your trailer so that 10-15% of the total weight of the trailer is on the tongue. WARNING: The trailer hitch on this vehicle is part of the vehicle rear crash safety structure. Do not remove the trailer hitch. Failure to follow this warning could compromise vehicle crash structure and increase the risk of injury in a rear end collision. Integrated Hitch Rating WARNING: Towing trailers beyond the maximum tongue weight exceeds the limit of the towing system and could result in vehicle structural damage, loss of vehicle control and personal injury. The standard integrated hitch has two ratings depending on mode of operation: • Weight-carrying requires a draw bar and hitch ball. The draw bar supports all the vertical tongue load of the trailer. • Weight-distributing requires an aftermarket weight-distributing system which includes draw bar, hitch ball, spring bars and snap-up brackets. The vertical tongue load of the trailer is distributed between the truck and the trailer by this system. Mode Weight-carrying Weight-distributing Maximum Trailer Weight - lb (kg) 6000 (2721) 9000 (4082) Maximum Tongue Weight - lb (kg) 600 (272) 900 (408) Note: These are hitch ratings only; actual vehicle ratings are dependent on engine, transmission and axle combinations. 2013 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing USA (fus)
