•

Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and

will not shift during travel.

•

It is recommended that any hitches installed on your

vehicle be factory installed, or installed by a dealer

using factory approved parts. Factory approved parts

are specifically engineered with your vehicle’s perfor-

mance in mind, including the possibility that it will be

involved in an accident. Other hitches may not have

been so engineered. Vehicle performance, including

vehicle damage in an accident situation, may therefore

be different.

•

If trailer towing is required and your vehicle is not

equipped with a trailer tow package, the Mopar威

accessory towing harnesses are the only approved

method to provide for trailer lights. These harnesses

are designed to provide current to the trailer lights but

bypass the module designed to monitor tail lights.

Refer to the package instructions for details.

Trailer and Tongue Weight

Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) means the weight of the

trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables and

equipment loaded on the trailer when in actual under-

way towing condition. The best way to measure GTW is

to put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. The

entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the

scale.

Always load a trailer with 60% of the cargo weight in the

front of the trailer. This places approximately 10% to 15%

of the GTW on the tow hitch of your vehicle. This portion

of the GTW becomes the tongue weight.

Trailer sway control and equalizing hitch are required for

tongue weights above 350 lbs (159 kg)., i.e., trailer

weights heavier than 3,500 lbs (1 587 kg).
