Many states and Canadian
provinces/territories require special
outside mirrors when towing a trailer.
Even if they don’t, you should install
special mirrors if you cannot clearly
see behind you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.

When preparing to tow, and before
driving away, be sure to check the
following:

Your vehicle tires and spare are
properly inflated, and the trailer
tires and spare are inflated as
recommended by the trailer
maker.

The vehicle has been properly
serviced, and the suspension and
the cooling system are in good
operating condition.

The trailer has been properly
serviced and is in good condition,
and the lights and brakes on the
trailer are working properly.

All weights and loads are within
limits.

The hitch, safety chains, and any
other attachments are secure.

All items in or on the trailer are
properly secured and cannot shift
while you drive.

Ask your trailer sales or rental
agency if any other items are
recommended or required for your
towing situation.
