Impr oper towing or failure to follow the instructions contained in this section can result in serious injury .
B DRIVING B - 5 Since this vehicle is designed and intended primarily as a load-carrying vehicle, towing a trailer will affect handling, durability and economy . Maximum safety and satisfaction depends upon proper use of correct equipment and avoiding overloads and other abusive operation.
B B - 6 DRIVING Attaching a T railer Please observe maximum permitted trailer dimensions (weight and length). Most states and all Canadian provinces require safety chains between your tow vehicle and trailer . The chains should be crisscrossed under the trailer tongue.
