(a) All models can tow
trailers up to 2,000 pounds with the addition of a trailer
hitch. For towing heavier trailers up to the Maximum
Trailer Weight Ratings shown in the Trailer Towing chart,
the vehicle must be equipped with the Trailer Tow Group
Class II for the 3.7-liter engine, or the Trailer Tow
Group Class IV for the 4.7-liter and 5.7-liter engines
for North America.
(b) Maximum Trailer Weight = GCWR - Curb Wt. - 150 lbs.
(allowance for driver) and must be decreased by the
weight of optional equipment, trailer hitch, cargo and
passengers. Maximum trailer weights shown are rounded
to the nearest 50 lbs. Tongue weight should be 10-15%
of loaded trailer weight but may not cause vehicle to
exceed GVWR or GAWR. Load equalizing hitch recommended
for trailers over 2,000 pounds. |
