Drive more slowly than you would without a
load. The more weight you carry, the slower
you should go. Although conditions vary, it is
good practice not to exceed low range whenev-
er you are carrying heavier loads or when tow-
ing a trailer.

Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle
takes longer to stop.
G
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow
speeds.

Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain
carefully. Added weight affects the stability and
handling of the vehicle.
