  3. 3Account for payload capacity reduction
  4. 4Brake capacity must handle trailer weight
  5. 5Transmission and cooling limits apply

Why shouldn't I exceed towing capacity?

Overloading causes frame stress, brake failure, transmission overheating, and dangerous handling.

Do hitches increase towing capacity?

No; hitch connects to frame limits; capacity determined by vehicle design, not hitch.
