Towing Tips
Before towing the first time Verify adequate turning clearance between the truck cab / box corners and trailer(s).
Check truck box clearance. There should be a minimum clearance of
6" between the bottom of the trailer(s) overhang and the top of the box sides.
Verify all hardware is torqued to the proper specification.
Verify the trailer safety chain length. Too much slack in the chain may prevent maintaining control
in the event of separation. Leave only enough slack to allow full turning without interference.
Verify the trailer attachments to the safety chain anchors
are secure (cannot be shaken free during towing).
Before towing the every time Ensure all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound.
Do not tow trailer with worn or damaged parts.
Attach trailer securely to safety chain anchors.
Ensure the trailer weight does not exceed any part of the towing system. Be sure load
is heavier towards front of the trailer while not exceeding the hitch tongue weight.
Be sure trailer load is secured to prevent shifting and centered from left to right.
Never load the trailer heaver behind the trailer axle(s).
Check tires to ensure they are inflated to the proper specification.
Follow vehicle and trailer recommendations.
Verify trailer lights, electric brakes and breakaway switches are working properly.
