Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer, or pulling objects
can affect handling, stability, and risk of overturn or
other accidents.
•
Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing, or
pulling objects.
•
Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer
to label in cargo bed for cargo bed load limit.
Refer to label next to hitch for tongue weight
and trailer load limits.
•
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side
to side, and as low and as far forward as
possible.
•
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose
load could change handling unexpectedly or
be thrown forward and strike occupants.
