254 Towing Your vehicle may tow a Class I or III trailer provided the maximum trailer weight is less than or equal to the maximum trailer weight listed for your vehicle configuration on the following chart. Powertrain and trailer class 3.7L TiVCT front-wheel drive, Class I 3.5L GTDI all-wheel drive, Class I 3.5L GTDI all-wheel drive, Class III * Maximum GCWR lb. (kg) 6900 (3131) 7200 (3267) 9750 (4424) Maximum trailer weight - lb. (kg) 2000 (907) 2000 (907) 4500 (2042)* For towing trailers up to 4500 pounds (2042 kilograms), use a weight-carrying hitch and ball, which uniformly spreads the trailer tongue loads through your vehicle's underbody structure. ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS Follow these guidelines for safe towing: • Do not tow a trailer until you drive your vehicle at least 1000 miles (1600 kilometers). • Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer. • See the instructions included with towing accessories for the proper installation and adjustment specifications. • Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. See your scheduled maintenance information. • If you use a rental trailer, follow the instructions the rental agency gives you. For load specification terms found on the tire label and Safety Compliance label and for instructions on calculating your vehicle's load, refer to Load limit in the Load Carrying chapter. Remember to account for the trailer tongue weight as part of your vehicle load when calculating the total vehicle weight. 2014 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
