Maximum trailer weight is listed at 1,000 lbs across engines in official specs, though some owner manuals note up to 2,000 lbs for the 5.7-liter V8. No dedicated heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension packages appear for work use. The car suits light towing or occasional cargo hauling with its stable chassis and available AWD.

Servicing follows an oil-life monitor that signals changes based on use. the interval must not exceed 10,000 miles or 12 months. Typical schedules call for oil and filter changes with tire rotations every 8,000 miles or so, plus inspections of brakes, suspension, and filters at longer intervals. Severe duty shortens oil life.
The generation earned IIHS Top Safety Pick status with Good scores across tested crash categories. Standard kit includes advanced multi-stage airbags for front, full-length side curtains, front seat-mounted side airbags, driver knee airbag, reactive head restraints, electronic stability control with Ready Alert Braking and Rain Brake Support, ABS, traction control, and tire-pressure monitoring. SafetyTec adds available forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, and more.
Keep the car by following the oil indicator and rotating tires regularly. Check fluids monthly and address any suspension or electrical items promptly as the car ages. Standard Keyless Enter-N-Go and dual-zone climate simplify daily use.
