Jeep Wrangler: Towing Requirements / Towing Requirements — Tires
- Proper tire inflation pressures are essential
to the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle.
- Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation
pressures before trailer usage.
- Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire
damage before towing a trailer.
- Replacing tires with a higher load carrying
capacity will not increase the vehicle's GVWR
and GAWR limits.
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle
drivetrain components, the following guidelines
are recommended:
WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to a collision...
Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake
system or vacuum system of your vehicle
with that of the trailer. This could cause inadequate
braking and possible personal injury...
