Maximum trailer weightRecommendations for towing up to this limit are as follows.
2.4 liter models

3.0 liter models

Tongue weightThe tongue weight of any trailer is important because it affects
the vehicle capacity weight.
The vehicle capacity weight includes any cargo you may carry,
and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If you will tow
a trailer, you must include the tongue weight of the trailer in
your calculation of the vehicle capacity weight. For more infor-
mation regarding vehicle capacity weight, refer to “Tire and
loading information placard” on page 4-10.
Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight for your vehicle.
After you’ve loaded your trailer, weigh the trailer and then the
tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper.
Keep the trailer tongue load at 10% of the loaded trailer weight
for dead weight hitches. Tongue loads can be adjusted by
proper distribution of the load in the trailer. This can be
checked by separately weighing the loaded trailer and then the
tongue.Gross axle weight rating (GAWR)The GAWRs are printed on the certification label which is riv-
eted on the door sill on the driver’s side.
Refer to “Vehicle labeling” on page 9-2.

Maximum LoadMaximum load indicates the maximum load this tire is
designed to carry.Maximum PressureMaximum Pressure indicates the maximum permissible
cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.
Tire Identification Number (TIN)The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire but
the date code may only be on one side. Look for the TIN on
the outboard side of tires as mounted on the vehicle. If the
TIN is not found on the outboard side then you will find it
on the inboard side of the tire.

which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its
load index under certain operating conditions.
The maximum speed corresponding to the speed
symbol should only be achieved under specified
operating conditions. (i.e. tire pressure, vehicle
loading, road conditions and posted speed limits)
