Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on
your bumper or trailer hitch.

Consider the following items when computing the
weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:

• The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment

put in or on your vehicle.

• The weight of the driver and all passengers.

NOTE:

Remember that everything put into or on the

trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional

must be considered as part of the total load on your
vehicle. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information plac-
