Owners Manual

Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires
Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the
upper limit for cold tires. You’ll find these numbers
on the Certification/Tire label located at the
bottom of the center pillar on the driver’s side of
the vehicle, or see Loading Your Vehicle on
page 290. Then be sure you don’t go over the
GVWR limit for your vehicle, including the weight
of the trailer tongue.
Hitches
It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment.
Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough
roads are a few reasons why you’ll need the
right hitch.
Weight-Distributing Hitches and
Weight Carrying Hitches
You can use your step bumper hitch for trailers
up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) total weight, and 200 lbs
(90 kg) tongue weight.
Notice: If you use a step-bumper hitch, your
bumper could be damaged in sharp turns.
Make sure you have ample room when turning
to avoid contact between the trailer and the
bumper.
