Acura 2008 RL User Manual download pdf (Page 382)

Your vehicle has been designed

primarily to carry passengers and

their cargo. You can also use it to

tow a trailer if you carefully observe

the load limits, use the proper

equipment, and follow the guidelines

in this section.

The weight that

the tongue of a fully-loaded trailer

puts on the hitch should be

approximately 10 percent of the

trailer weight. Too much tongue

load reduces front-tire traction and

steering control. Too little tongue

load can make the trailer unstable

and cause it to sway.

The

maximum allowable weight of the

trailer and everything in or on it

must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 kg).

Towing a load that is too heavy

can seriously affect your vehicle’s

handling and performance. It can

also damage the engine and

drivetrain.
