For best overall vehicle and engineperformance, premium fuel with an octanerating of 91 or higher is recommended. Theperformance gained by using premium fuelis most noticeable in hot weather as wellas other conditions, for example whentowing a trailer. See Towing a Trailer(page 365).
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if theengine knocks heavily while using fuel withthe recommended octane rating, contactan authorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
We recommend Top Tier detergentgasolines, where available to help minimizeengine deposits and maintain optimalvehicle and engine performance.
For additional information, visitwww.toptiergas.com.
Note:Use of any fuel for which the vehiclewas not designed can impair the emissioncontrol system, cause loss of vehicleperformance, and cause damage to theengine which may not be covered by thevehicle Warranty.
Do not use:
•Diesel fuel.
•Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
•Fuel containing more than 15% ethanolor E85 fuel.
•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic-basedadditives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel isprohibited by law.
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl, which is amanganese-based fuel additive, will impairengine performance and affect theemission control system.
SELECTING THE CORRECT FUELFOR COLD WEATHER
Choosing the Right Fuel: VehiclesOperated Where Ultra Low SulfurDiesel Fuel Is Required (UnitedStates/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S.Virgin Islands And Other Locales)
Note:Your Warranty will not cover damagecaused by using an improper type of fuel orfuel additive.
Note:Do not blend used engine oil withdiesel fuel under any circumstances.Blending used oil with the fuel significantlyincreases your vehicle’s exhaust emissionsand reduce engine life due to increasedinternal wear.

FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER HITCH
Your vehicle has a fifth-wheel preppackage. This package enables yourvehicle to accept certain fifth-wheel trailerhitches and gooseneck ball hitches. Thefifth-wheel trailer hitch attaches to the fourmounting pads in the pick-up bed. A 7-pintrailer wiring connector could be in the bedas well. The gooseneck ball hitch is aseparate mounting pad from thefifth-wheel hitch in the center of the bed.
Shorter pick-up boxes provide lessclearance between the cab and thefifth-wheel and gooseneck trailercompared to longer box pick-ups. Whenselecting a trailer and tow vehicle, it iscritical to check that this combinationprovides clearance between the front ofthe trailer and tow vehicle for turns up to90°. Failure to follow this recommendationcould result in the trailer contacting thecab of the tow vehicle during tight turnsthat are typical during low-speed parkingand turning maneuvers. This contact couldresult in damage to the trailer and towvehicle.
Note:Contact an authorized dealer topurchase gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitchesthat are compatible with your vehicle.
Note:The mounting pads in the bed arespecifically designed for certain fifth-wheeltrailer hitches and gooseneck ball hitches.Do not use these mounting pads for otherpurposes.
CONNECTING A TRAILER

Your vehicle may have a temporary orconventional spare tire. A temporary sparetire is different in diameter or width,tread-type, or is from a differentmanufacturer than the road tires on yourvehicle. Consult information on the tirelabel or Safety Compliance label forlimitations when using.
When towing a trailer:
•Obey country specific regulations fortowing a trailer.
•Do not drive faster than 70 mph(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi(800 km).
•Do not make full-throttle starts.
•Check your hitch, electrical connectionsand trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughlyafter you have traveled 50 mi (80 km).
•When stopped in congested or heavytraffic during hot weather, place thetransmission in park (P) to aid engineand transmission cooling and to helpA/C performance.
•Turn off the speed control with heavyloads or in hilly terrain. The speedcontrol may turn off when you aretowing on long, steep slopes.
•Shift to a lower gear when driving downa long or steep hill. Do not continuouslyapply the brakes, as they may overheatand become less effective.
•If your transmission has Grade Assistor Tow/Haul, use this feature whentowing. This provides engine brakingand helps eliminate excessivetransmission shifting for optimum fueleconomy and transmission cooling.
•If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac withroll stability control, this system mayturn on during typical corneringmaneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer.This is normal. Turning the corner at aslower speed when towing may reducethis tendency.
•Allow more distance for stopping witha trailer attached. Anticipate stops andgradually brake.
•Avoid parking on a slope. However, ifyou must park on a slope, turn thesteering wheel to point your vehicletires away from traffic flow, set theparking brake, place the transmissionin park (P) and place wheel chocks infront and back of the trailer wheels.
Note:Chocks are not included with yourvehicle.

A BOAT OR PERSONAL
WATERCRAFT
When backing down a ramp during boatlaunching or retrieval:
•Do not allow the static water level torise above the bottom edge of the rearbumper.
•Do not allow waves to break higherthan 6 in (15 cm) above the bottomedge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding 6 in (15 cm) could allow waterto enter vehicle components, causinginternal damage to the components andaffecting driveability, emissions andreliability.
Note:Replace the rear axle lubricantanytime the rear axle has been submergedin water.
Note:Disconnect the trailer wiringconnector before backing the trailer into thewater.
Note:Reconnect the trailer wiringconnector after removing the trailer fromthe water.

Extra care must be taken crossing any typeof water. Do not drive into water unlessnecessary. Only drive through areas thatare designated and approved. Determineexit points that are downstream of yourentry point to allow for drifting. If there areother vehicles ahead, wait until they haveleft the water. Unsettled water can makea safe passage more challenging.
High currents even in shallow water canwash the dirt out from around your tires orpush your vehicle across slippery rocks orsurfaces. Never attempt to cross flowingwater that is deeper than your vehicle'sground clearance. Even in low currents yourvehicle's body surface area can be pusheddownstream and out of control. Do notcross any body of water that is fast flowingand rising, wait for the flow rate to reduce.
Vehicles used to traverse water regularlyshould be periodically inspected for signsof water ingestion in all of the vehicle'sfluids. If water is found inside your vehiclefluids, service your vehicle or see anauthorized dealer.
After driving through water and as soon asit is safe to do so, check the brakes, horn,lights, and steering wheel to make sureeverything is still in working order.
