Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label.
Do not use replacement tires with lower weight capacities than the
originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a higher weight limit than the
originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.
TRAILER TOWING
Your vehicle is classified as a light duty towing vehicle. Refer to the
following chart for towing limits:
Towing class Light duty
Maximum gross trailer weight 454/907 kg (1 000/2 000 lbs.)*
Maximum tongue load 45/91 kg (100/200 lbs.)
Engine 4.6L
Hitch design Load carrying type

* Vehicle speed should not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) when towing on
grades. Limit maximum gross trailer weight to 454 kg (1 000 lbs.) and
maximum tongue load to 45 kg (100 lbs.): (1) when you are towing a
trailer on steep hills or on moderate hills for distances longer than
8 km (5 miles) or more and; (2) on very hot days (when the
temperature is above 38°C [100°F]).
Your vehicle does not come from the factory fully equipped to tow.
However, you can contact your local Lincoln dealer to get the proper
towing equipment. Do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been
driven at least 3 200 km (2 000 miles).
Towing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’s engine,
transmission, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these components
carefully after towing.
Do not tow a trailer when using a temporary spare tire.
The amount of weight your loaded trailer should be no more than 907 kg
(2 000 lbs.).
