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

180

and

181

•

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

254

and the trailer tires and spare are
inflated as recommended by the

trailer maker.
