Tips for Safe Towing

A generous towing capacity is just part of a safe and hassle-free towing experience. Drivers should also remember the tips below for safe towing. The trailer hitch must be checked to ensure that it is securely attached before departing on your journey. This may seem obvious, but this important step is often overlooked in the bustle of packing for a trip.

Owners must always remain within the safe prescribed limits of the total trailer weight (TTW), gross combination weight rating (GCWR), gross axle weight rating (GAWR), trailer load, and the trailer tongue load of the vehicle and trailer equipment. Evenly distributed cargo prevents excessive weight from being put on the tow hitch, and your cargo must be properly secured.
