Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re
pulling a trailer. See the Maintenance Schedule for more
on this. Things that are especially important in trailer
operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t
overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belt, cooling system
and brake system. Each of these is covered in this
manual, and the Index will help you find them quickly.
If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review these
sections before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts
are tight.

harnesses for towing a trailer.
Basic Trailer Wiring Package
The trailer wiring harness, with a seven-pin connector,
is located at the rear of the vehicle and is tied to the

-pin universal heavy-duty trailer connector
