Trailer towing

Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger carrying vehicle.

Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, perfor-

mance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption. Your safety and

satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct equipment and cau-

tious driving habits. For your safety and the safety of others, do not

overload the vehicle or trailer.

To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in

accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating condi-

tions.

Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction caused by

towing a trailer for commercial purposes.

Ask your local authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional, for further details before tow-

ing, as there are additional legal requirements in some countries.

 Weight limits

Check the allowable towing capacity, GVM (Gross Vehicle

Mass), MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle Capacity), and per-

missible drawbar load before towing. (P. 554)

 Towing hitch/bracket

Toyota recommends the use of the Toyota hitch/bracket for your

vehicle. Other products of a suitable nature and comparable

quality may also be used.
