Towing Guide and Tow Vehicle Set Up
To ensure safe driving conditions and optimum towing performance, it is important to correctly set up
your boat and trailer package.
It is with the trailer’s owner that the responsibility rests to ensure that the appropriate towing set up,
load distribution, and tow vehicle are used for safe and legal towing.
There are numerous factors that need to be considered in the relation to the tow vehicle and tow set
up including (but not limited to):
Complying with the Gross Trailer Mass
Complying with the Aggregate Trailer Mass
Complying with the tow vehicle’s Towing Capacity
Complying with the tow vehicle’s Tow Bar Capacity
Complying with the tow vehicle’s Tongue Weight Capacity
Ensuring Tongue Weight is at the correct %
Ensuring the Tow Ball height is correct (
which greatly effects points 1, 4, 5 & 6
)
The amount of, and where you position gear/stowage in the boat
Please refer to our website www.easytow.com.au for the complete Towing Guide. This can be used
as a reference to ensure you are set up to optimize safe towing. If you are unsure or need any
vehicle modifications, you should seek advice from a towing/suspension specialist.
