Trailer Hauling
Since passenger cars are designed
and intended to be used primarily
as passenger conveyances, towing
a trailer will affect handling,
dura
bility and economy. Maximum
safety and satisfaction depends
upon proper use of correct
equip

other abusive operation.
The maximum loaded trailer
weight which you
can pull with your
Camaro depends on what special
equipment has been installed on
your car. Chevrolet does not

can be
adjusted by proper distribution of
the load in the trailer,
and can be
checked by weighing separately the
loaded trailer and then the tongue.
When towing trailers, tires should
be inflated to the highest
infla
tion pressures shown on the placard
affixed to the left front door. The

injury from frontal impacts in
the event of an accident.
allowable passenger
and cargo
load, also shown
on the same plac
ard, is reduced by an amount equal
to the trailer tongue load on the
trailer hitch.
Maintenance
More frequent vehicle mainte
