Capacity), and permissible drawbar
load before towing. ( P.566)
Toyota recommends the use of the
Toyota hitch/bracket for your vehi-
cle. Other products of a suitable
nature and comparable quality may
also be used.
For vehicles where the towing
device blocks any of the lights or
license plate, the following shall be
observed:
 Do not use towing devices that
cannot be easily removed or
repositioned.
 Towing devices must be
removed or repositioned when
not in use.
■Total trailer weight and per-
missible drawbar load
Total trailer weight
Weight of the trailer itself plus the trailer
load should be within the maximum
towing capacity. Exceeding this weight
is dangerous. ( P.566)
When towing a trailer, use a friction
coupler or friction stabilizer (sway con-
trol device).
Permissible drawbar load
Allocate the trailer load so that the
drawbar load is greater than 25 kg
(55.1 lb.) or 4% of the towing capacity.
Do not let the drawbar load exceed the
indicated weight. ( P.566)
■Information tag (manufac-
turer’s label)
Gross combination vehicle mass
The sum of the total vehicle weight and
the weight of the trailer being towed can
be used to judge whether or not the
vehicle can be used to tow another
vehicle.
If the gross combination vehicle mass
is greater than the gross vehicle mass,
your vehicle is equipped with a towing
package and can tow another vehicle.
On the other hand, if the gross combi-
nation vehicle mass is the same as the
gross vehicle mass, your vehicle is not
equipped with a towing package and
cannot tow another vehicle.
Gross vehicle mass
The combined weight of the driver, pas-
sengers, luggage, towing hitch, total
curb mass and drawbar load should not

Important points regarding
trailer loads

1724-1. Before driving
exceed the gross vehicle mass by more
than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this
weight is dangerous.
Maximum permissible rear axle
capacity
The weight borne by the rear axle
should not exceed the maximum per-
missible rear axle capacity by 15% or
more. Exceeding this weight is danger-
ous. The values for towing capacity
were derived from testing conducted at
sea level. Take note that engine output
and towing capacity will be reduced at
high altitudes.

■When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle
capacity is exceeded
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
●Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2
kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recom- mended tire inflation pressure
value. ( P.573)
●Do not exceed the established
speed limit for towing a trailer in
built-up areas or 100 km/h (62 mph), whichever is the lower.

■Tire information
●Increase the tire inflation pressure to
20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) greater than the recommended value
when towing. ( P.566)
●Increase the air pressure of the trailer
tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the val- ues recommended by the manufac-
turer of your trailer.
■Trailer lights
Please consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer when installing
trailer lights, as in correct installation may cause damage to the vehicle’s
lights. Please take care to comply with
your state’s laws when installing trailer
lights.
■Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted
with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
■Safety checks before towing
●Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket hitch ball is
not exceeded. Bear in mind that the
coupling weight of the trailer will add to the load exerted on the vehicle.
Also make sure that you will not be
towing a load that exceeds the maxi-
mum permissible axle capacity.
●Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
●Supplementary outside rear view mir- rors should be added to the vehicle if
the traffic behind cannot be clearly
seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the extending arms of these mirrors on
both sides of the vehicle so that they
always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
■Maintenance
●Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for
towing due to the greater weight bur-
den placed on the vehicle compared to normal driving.
●Retighten all bolts securing the hitch-ing ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident, death or serious
injury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
■Checking connections
between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the
NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strength-
ening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not
come directly in contact with that
area. When steel and aluminum come into
contact, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the sec- tion concerned and may result in
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts
that will come in contact when attach- ing a steel bracket.
