3For towing trailers up to 3500 lb (1588 kg), use a weight-carrying hitch and ball, which uniformly spreads the trailer tongue loads through your vehicle’s underbody structure. For towing trailers over 3500 lb (1588 kg), up to the maximum trailer weight, we recommend you use a weight-distributing hitch to increase front axle load when towing.
