CAUTION
n To avoid accident or injury
l The total trailer weight (trailer weight plus the weight of cargo) must not
exceed 5000 lb. (2270 kg)
l If a trailer and cargo weight over 2000 lb. (907 kg), use a sway control
device with sufficient capacity.
l The gross combined weight (sum of your vehicle weight plus its load and
the total trailer weight) must not exceed the following.
2WD models:
9200 lb. (4173 kg)
4WD models:
9500 lb. (4309 kg)
l Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight,
gross axle weight and trailer tongue load capacities.
l Never load more weight in the back than in the front of the trailer. About
60% of the load should be in the front half of the trailer, and the remaining
40% in the rear.
l The tow hitch receiver installed on your vehicle must never be used on
another vehicle.
n Hitches
l If you wish to install a trailer hitch, your Toyota dealer should be consulted.
l Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement.
l Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
l Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease.
l Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce
the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is
struck from behind.
