Before you hitch up
Good to know.
Check the label.
Your vehicle’s exact rating is in the owner’s manual and on the door-jamb label. Maximums apply to specific configurations.
Count the payload.
Passengers, cargo and the trailer’s tongue weight all count against payload.
Use the lowest rating.
Stay under the lowest rating among the vehicle, the hitch and the trailer.
Service before a long tow.
Towing counts as a special operating condition in Toyota maintenance schedules. Schedule service.
