TRAILER HITCH
TRAILER HITCHÐXJ
CLASS III HITCH
A class III weight-distributing/equalizer type hitch
can be used to tow a trailer:
²Having a maximum gross weight of 5,000 lbs/2250
kg.
²Having a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs/332
kg).
The following vehicle basic equipment is required
for class III trailer towing:
²P205/75R15 or larger tires.
²Full size spare tire.
²Trailer sway control.
²Trailer tow wire harness and connector.
²Heavy duty turn signal flasher element.
²Heavy duty axle (with synthetic lubricant).
²Heavy duty cooling system.
²Heavy duty generator/battery.
²Auxiliary automatic transmission fluid cooler.
²I-6, 4.0L engine.
Wide-angle type door mirrors are recommended but
not required.
WIRE HARNESS CONNECTORS
CLASS I HITCH CONNECTOR
The trailer tow wire harness connector for class I
trailer hitches is a 5-terminal, in-line type connector.
Terminal 5 is the source for vehicle ground (Fig. 1)
CLASS III HITCH CONNECTOR
The trailer tow wire harness connector for class III
trailer-tow hitches is a 7-terminal, circular type con-
nector (Fig. 2).
The 12-volt circuit for the trailer is protected
from overloads. A auto-reset type circuit
breaker is located in the trailer tow wire har-
ness near the plug-in relays.
CAUTION: The trailer tow wire harness package
does not include a vehicle battery isolator unit. Be-
cause of this, the trailer battery can totally dis-
charge the vehicle battery if the engine is not
operated for an extended period of time.
A blue wire (without a connector) located under in-
strument panel near fuse panel is available for
trailer electric brake control unit.
