When towing a trailer on long uphill grades while

the outside temperature is above 85°F (29°C),

reduce your vehicle speed to 45 mph (72 km/h)

to avoid overheating the engine cooling system.

You can ask your dealer/retailer for our trailering

information or advice, or you can write us at

our Customer Assistance Offices. See Customer

Assistance Offices on page 479 for more

information.

Weight of the Trailer Tongue

The tongue load (A) of any trailer is an important

weight to measure because it affects the total

or gross weight of your vehicle. The Gross

Vehicle Weight (GVW) includes the curb weight

of the vehicle, any cargo you may carry in it,

and the people who will be riding in the vehicle.

And if you tow a trailer, you must add the

tongue load to the GVW because your vehicle

will be carrying that weight, too. See Loading

Your Vehicle on page 324 for more information

about your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.

If you’re using a weight-carrying hitch or a

weight-distributing hitch, the trailer tongue (A)

should weigh 10 to 15 percent of the total loaded

trailer weight (B).

After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer

and then the tongue, separately, to see if the

weights are proper. If they aren’t, you may be

able to get them right simply by moving some

items around in the trailer.

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

Tire and Loading Information label. See Loading

Your Vehicle on page 324. Then be sure you don’t

go over the GVW limit for your vehicle, including the

weight of the trailer tongue.
