Picking the right tow vehicle

Look on www.NADA guides.com This might give you some of the information that you are looking for. Is it o towlite or a classic-heavier model.? Also look in the forum library for your year of HiLo. Look in your owners manual for your vehicle. I know the information is available on the internet. Others will chime in on this. You are correct in that you absolutely need to match up the correct tow vehicle and trailer. sam
