Tips For Safe Towing With a Used Truck
Before you tow, it is important that your load is properly connected to your truck. The team at Haus Auto Group recommends following these tips before towing:
- Follow the towing capacity: it is vital that you do not exceed your truck’s towing capacity, the weight it can safely tow. Before connecting your trailer, we encourage you to check your owner’s manual to ensure that you are within the weight limit.
- Double check towing equipment: to successfully tow you will need a hitch, safety chains, and the correct wire connections. Double check that your connections are secure and properly attached.
- Distribute weight evenly: if you are towing with a trailer, you will want to keep the load even to ensure it is balanced while driving.
Once you have your load properly secured, it is important that you drive attentively. Driving with a trailer changes your turning radius, brake speed, and vehicle weight. Take this into consideration when you hit the road.
