Trailer And Tongue Weight
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 tongue weight of the trailer.
• 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 factory-installed options or
dealer-installed options must be considered
as part of the total load on your vehicle.
Refer to the “Tire And Loading Information”
placard for the maximum combined weight
of occupants and cargo for your vehicle.

To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle
drivetrain components the following guidelines
are recommended:
CAUTION!

500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is
driven. The engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.
