Rated. / 5. Based on customer reviews
• Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km)
that you tow a trailer, don’t drive over
50 mph (80 km/h) and don’t make starts
at full throttle. This helps your engine and
other parts of your vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.
• You may want to shift the transmission to
THIRD (3) or, if necessary, a lower gear
selection if the transmission shifts too
often (e.g., under heavy loads and/or hilly
conditions). If you have a manual transmission
and you are towing a trailer, it’s better not
to use the highest gear.
Three important considerations have to do
with weight:
• the weight of the trailer,
• the weight of the trailer tongue
• and the weight on your vehicle’s tires.
Weight of the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It depends on how you plan to use your rig.
For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how much your vehicle is used
to pull a trailer are all important. It can also depend
on any special equipment that you have on
your vehicle, and the amount of tongue weight
the vehicle can carry. See “Weight of the Trailer
Tongue” later in this section for more information.
Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming
only the driver is in the tow vehicle and it has
all the required trailering equipment. The weight
of additional optional equipment, passengers
and cargo in the tow vehicle must be subtracted
from the maximum trailer weight.
