Driving Safely Towing Loads OPERATION WARNING Towing improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of control or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death. Always follow these precautions when towing: Never load more than the recommended vertical tongue weight on the towing bracket. Do not operate the vehicle faster than 10 mph (16 km/h) when towing. See page 44. Towing a trailer increases braking distance. Do not tow more than the recommended weight for the vehicle. See the towing capacity chart below and the specifications charts beginning on page 102. Attach a trailer to the trailer hitch bracket only. Do not attach a trailer to any other location or you may lose control of the vehicle. Never tow a trailer on a grade steeper than 15°.
