Tow/Haul is designed to be most effective when

the vehicle and trailer combined weight is at

least 75 percent of the vehicle’s Gross Combined

Weight Rating (GCWR). See Weight of the

Trailer later in this section. Tow/Haul is most useful

under the following driving conditions:

• When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or

heavy load through rolling terrain.

• When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or

heavy load in stop and go traffic.

• When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or

heavy load in busy parking lots where

improved low speed control of the vehicle is

desired.

Operating the vehicle in tow/haul when lightly

loaded or with no trailer at all will not cause

damage. However, there is no beneﬁt to the

selection of Tow/Haul when the vehicle is

unloaded. Such a selection when unloaded may

result in unpleasant engine and transmission

driving characteristics and reduced fuel economy.

Tow/Haul is recommended only when pulling a

heavy trailer or a large or heavy load.

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.
