Tires, Wheels and Loading Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle's engine, transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these components carefully prior to and after any towing operation. Refer to Transmission temperature gauge in the Instrument Cluster chapter for the transmission fluid temperature information. The following trailer towing charts apply to vehicles equipped with gasoline engines; for vehicles equipped with diesel engines, refer to your 6.0 Liter Power Stroke Direct Injection Turbo Diesel Owner's Guide Supplement. Note: Do not exceed the GCWR listed for your vehicle on the following chart/table, or the GVWR, GAWR or tire ratings specified on the Tire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label. Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended trailer weight which exceeds the limit of the vehicle's GCWR, GVWR, GAWR or tire ratings could result in engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.
