288 STARTING AND OPERATING Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/Transmission Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross Trailer Wt.) Max. Tongue Wt. (See Note 1) 2.0L Auto 22 Sq. Ft. (2.04 Sq. m) 1000 lbs (450 kg) 150 lbs (50 kg) 2.4L Auto 22 Sq. Ft. (2.04 Sq. m) 1000 lbs (450 kg) 150 lbs (50 kg) 1.8L <strong>Manual</strong> 22 Sq. Ft. (2.04 Sq. m) 1000 lbs (450 kg) 150 lbs (50 kg) 2.4L Auto/Man with Trailer Tow Prep Package (AHC) 32 Sq. Ft. (3.0 Sq. m) 2000 lbs (907 kg) 300 lbs (136 kg) Refer to local laws for maximum trailer towing speeds. Note 1 – The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the weight referenced on the Tire and Loading Information placard. Refer to the Tire–Safety Information Section in this manual.
Trailer and Tongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% to 15% of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side which will cause loss of control of vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many trailer accidents. Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch. STARTING AND OPERATING 289 5
