CAUTION
A recommended tongue load or
king pin weight varies in accor-
dance with the types of trailers or
towing as described below.
In order to ensure the recom-
mended values shown below, the
trailer must be loaded by referring
to the following instructions.
1. Conventional Towing
The tongue load is 9 to 11 % of
the Gross Trailer weight.
If the gross trailer weight is over
907 kg (2000 lbs), it is necessary
to use a sway control device with
sufficient capacity.
If the gross trailer weight is over
2268 kg (5000 lbs), it is necessary
to use a weight distributing hitch
with sufficient capacity.
If using a weight distributing
hitch when towing, keep your ve-
hicle level with the ground.
2. Fifth wheel TowingThe king pin weight is 15 to 25
% of the Gross Trailer weight.
Current fifthwheel trailer designs
are not compatible with Short bed
(Crew Max models).Trailer hitch assemblies have differ-
ent weight capacities established by
the hitch manufacturer. Even though
the vehicle may be physically capa-
ble of towing a higher weight, the
operator must determine the maxi-
mum weight rating of the particular
hitch assembly and never exceed
the maximum weight rating speci-
fied for the trailerhitch. Exceeding
the maximum weight rating set by
the trailer hitch manufacturer can
cause an accident resulting in death
or serious personal injuries.
