G G G G Choose a trailer hitch drawbar designed for use with a 5 cm (2 in) receiver. (See page 4-28 for more information.) Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight. You can measure tongue weight with a bathroom scale. Put the tongue of the loaded trailer on the scale with the tongue at hitch height. Adjust the load in the trailer, if necessary, to reduce the weight on hitch. If you are carrying cargo and towing a trailer, include the tongue weight in the maximum vehicle load limit. Load cargo in the cargo bed as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and tie it down using the cargo hooks equipped on the cargo bed. Tie down cargo securely in the trailer. Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around. A shifting load can cause an accident. G G G G G Make sure the load does not interfere with controls or your ability to see where you are going. Drive more slowly than you would without a load. The more weight you carry, the slower you should go. Although conditions vary, it is good practice not to exceed low range whenever you are carrying heavier loads or when towing a trailer. Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop. Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow speeds. Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain carefully. Added weight affects the stability and handling of the vehicle. 6-12
