Towing a Trailer

Additional Trailer Equipment

Many states and Canadian provinces

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.

Ask your trailer sales or rental

agency if any other items are

recommended or required for your

towing situation.

Pre-Tow Checklist

When preparing to tow, and before

driving away, be sure to check the

following:

The vehicle has been properly

serviced, and the tires, brakes,

suspension, and cooling system

are in good operating condition.

All weights and loads are within

limits (see pages

211

and

212

).

The hitch, safety chain, and any

other attachments are secure.

All items on and in the trailer are

properly secured and cannot shift

while you drive.

The lights and brakes on your

vehicle and the trailer are working

properly.

Your vehicle tires and spare are

properly inflated (see page

269

),

and the trailer tires and spare are

inflated as recommended by the

trailer maker.
