Warning

In order to avoid serious injury or
property damage, always follow the hitch
manufacturer's instructions when securing
your draw bar/coupling device to the
vehicle's hitch receiver.

Ensure that the draw bar/coupling device
is secured with a locking retainer pin or
other means such that rotation of the pin
or locking mechanism will not cause the
pin to back out or loosen during use.
Failure to correctly secure the draw bar/
coupling device to the receiver can result
in separation of the hitch/receiver while
towing.

Conventional Hitch

A conventional hitch is bolted to the frame
or cross member of the tow vehicle, and is
generally rated Class 2, 3, or 4.

Always use the correct hitch equipment for
your vehicle. Crosswinds, large trucks going
by, and rough roads can affect the trailer
and the hitch.

Proper hitch equipment for your vehicle
helps maintain control of the vehicle-trailer
combination. Many trailers can be towed
using a weight-carrying hitch which has a
coupler latched to the hitch ball, or a tow
eye latched to a pintle hook. Other trailers
may require a weight-distributing hitch that
uses spring bars to distribute the trailer
tongue weight between your vehicle and
trailer axles. See

for weight limits with various hitch types.

Avoid sharp turns when using a step-bumper
hitch to prevent damage. Make wider turns
to prevent contact between your trailer and
your bumper.

Hitch Cover

To remove hitch cover, if equipped:

1. Remove the two fasteners on the lower

tabs (2).

2. Pull the lower edge of the cover to

about a 45 degree angle.

3. Pull the cover upward to disengage the

upper attachments (1).

To reinstall hitch cover:

1. Hold cover at a 45 degree angle to the

vehicle and push the upper tabs into the
slots in the bumper.

2. Push the bottom of the cover forward

until the lower tabs line up with the
lower slots.
