Before Driving

Towing

High-altitude operation

CAUTION

Be aware of the towing load weight differences when towing at high altitudes. For altitudes 

exceeding 1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in), always reduce the towing load by 10 % for every 

1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in) increase in altitude from the load indicated under the maximum 

GCWR heading in the trailer towing-load table. If the determined maximum total towing 

load weight is exceeded, the engine and other power-train parts may be damaged.
