Required equipment and applicability

  • Light Duty Cooling
  • The trailer tongue load counts toward the vehicle’s occupant/cargo load; passengers and cargo may reduce the usable trailer rating.
  • Confirm the vehicle labels and actual hitch, ball, mount and trailer-component ratings.
  • Exact printed towing-table row: 3.6L AWD Light Duty Cooling.
02 / The connection

Weight carrying and weight distribution

Weight carrying

Mode-specific receiver limits are not published in the selected source; read the actual receiver and hitch-component labels.

Trailer limit: Check your installed component label. Tongue limit: Check your installed component label.

Weight distributing

Mode-specific receiver limits are not published in the selected source; read the actual receiver and hitch-component labels.

Trailer limit: Check your installed component label. Tongue limit: Check your installed component label.

Weight distribution does not raise factory ratings. Axle loads and vehicle mass in the adjusted state require measurements. Receiver, ball mount, ball, and coupler must each be checked.

Other manufacturer requirements

Maximum vehicle trailer tongue weight: 350 lb. The selected row publishes this tongue-weight limit (printed page 151). It is not a component-specific WC/WD hitch rating; confirm all hardware labels. Manufacturer source

Weight distribution recommended at 5,000 lb or more. Printed page 149 recommends a weight-distributing hitch at this inclusive threshold. This recommendation is not represented as a mandatory threshold. Manufacturer source
