rear GAWR. Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle Certifica-

tion Label” in “Starting and Operating” for further

information.

WARNING!

It is important that you do not exceed the maximum

front or rear GAWR. A dangerous driving condition

can result if either rating is exceeded. You could lose

control of the vehicle and have a collision.

Tongue Weight (TW)

The tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the

hitch ball by the trailer. In most cases it should not be

more than 10% of the trailer load. You must consider this

as part of the load on your vehicle.

Frontal Area

The frontal area is the maximum height multiplied by the

maximum width of the front of a trailer.

Trailer Sway Control

The trailer sway control can be a mechanical telescoping

link that can be installed between the hitch receiver and

the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable fric-

tion associated with the telescoping motion to dampen

any unwanted trailer swaying motions while traveling.

If equipped, the electronic Trailer Sway Control (TSC)

recognizes a swaying trailer and automatically applies

individual wheel brakes and/or reduces engine power to

attempt to eliminate the trailer sway.

Weight-Carrying Hitch

A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue

weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or

some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds

of hitches are the most popular on the market today and

they are commonly used to tow small- and medium-

sized trailers.
