Pulling something other than a trailer
BMS recommends that loads be transported in
the bed or in a trailer. If you need to move an
object a short distance use a winch and follow
the winch manufacturer’s instructions.
If you choose to use something other than a
winch use extreme caution, follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions for that product, and on-
ly attach to the hitch or hitch bracket of the ve-
hicle.
Improperly pulling can
cause serious injury or death. Never exceed
the Pulling Load limit of the vehicle. Avoid
pulling on inclines.
Pulling objects on the ground can be more haz-
ardous than pulling a trailer. It may be difficult
to predict how the load will affect vehicle oper-
ation. That effect could also change depending
upon terrain or what obstacles might be in the
object’s path.
