Tires, Wheels and Loading Integrated hitch rating 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 Maximum Gross Trailer Weight - lb. (kg) 6000 (2721) Maximum Tongue Weight - lb. (kg) 600 (272) Weight carrying Weight 8950 (4059) 895 (405) distributing These are hitch ratings only; actual vehicle ratings are dependent on engine, transmission and axle combinations. 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. Trailer hitch cover Your vehicle is equipped with a removable trailer hitch trim cover. To remove the trim cover: 1. Loosen the two 1⁄4-turn fasteners in the bottom of the cover by turning them counterclockwise. Pull the cover downward to remove it; the fasteners will remain attached to the cover. 230 2008 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
