●A recommended tongue weight or kingpin weight varies in accor-
dance with the types of trailer s or towing as described below.
● To ensure the recommended values shown below, the trailer must
be loaded by referring to t he following instructions.
1.Conventional Towing The gross trailer weight should be distributed so that the tong ue
weight is 9% to 11%. (Tongue We ight/Gross trailer weight x 100
= 9% to 11%)
Gross trailer weight
Tongue Weight
If using a weight distributing hi tch when towing, return the front
axle to the same weight as b efore the trailer connection.
If front axle weight cannot be measured directly, measure the
front fender height above the front axle before connection. Adjust
weight distributing hitch torque until front fender is returned to the
same height as b efore connection.
Do not reduce front fender heigh t below original measurement.
The gross trailer weight, gross axle weight and tongue weight
can be measured with platform sca les found at a highway weigh-
ing station, building supply company, trucking company, junk
yard, etc.

The gross trailer weight and kingpin weight can be measured
with platform scales found at a h ighway weighing station, build-
ing supply company, trucki ng company, junk yard, etc.
CrewMax models: Current fifth wheel trailer designs are not com -
patible with short bed.
Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities. Toyo ta rec-
ommends the use of Toy ota hitch/bracket for your vehicle. For d etails,
contact your Toyota dealer.
● If you wish to install a trailer hitch, contact your Toyota dea ler.
● Use only a hitch that conforms to the gross trailer weight requ ire-
ment of your vehicle.
● Follow the directions suppli ed by the hitch manufacturer.
● Lubricate the hitch ball and kingpin with a light coating of gr ease.
● Remove the trailer hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer. After
removing the hitch, seal any mounting hole in the vehicle body to
prevent entry of any substances into the vehicle.
