Towing a Trailer

Towing Equipment and

Accessories

Towing can require a variety of

equipment, depending on the size of

your trailer, how it Will be used, and
how much load you are towing.

Discuss your needs with your trailer
sales or rental agency, and follow the
guidelines in the rest of this section.

Also make sure that all equipment is

properly installed and that it meets
federal, state, province, and local
regulations.

Hitches

Any hitch used on your vehicle must
be properly bolted to the underbody.

Safety Chain

Always use a safety chain. Make

sure that it is secured to both the
trailer and hitch, and that it crosses
under the tongue so it can catch the

trailer if it becomes unhitched.
Leave enough slack to allow the
trailer to turn corners easily, but do
not let the chain drag on the ground.
