Towing a Trailer

Your Honda has been designed

primarily to carry passengers and

their cargo. You can use it to tow a

trailer if you carefully observe the

load limits, use the proper equipment,

and follow the guidelines in this

section.

Load Limits

Total Trailer Weight: The total

weight of the trailer and

everything loaded in it must not

exceed 1,000 Ibs (450 kg). Towing

a load that is too heavy can

seriously affect your vehicle's

handling and performance. It can

also damage the engine and

drivetrain.

Tongue Load: The weight that

the tongue of a fully-loaded trailer

puts on the hitch should be

approximately 10 percent of the

trailer weight. Too little tongue

load can make the trailer unstable

and cause it to sway. Too much

tongue load reduces front-tire

traction and steering control.
