When you are preparing to tow a trailer, you can save yourself many headaches by following a few preliminary steps to ensure that everything fits and is secured the way it should be. The first might be to determine if your vehicle is capable of towing the trailer. That can be achieved by looking at the owner’s manual.
It will provide you with exact specifications for your vehicle’s weight capacity, including the load and tongue weights. Once you’ve established a good match there, check the tow hitch. It should be designated to fit your vehicle’s bumper as well as have the appropriate weight capacity. The trailer itself should be inspected to verify that it can securely transport the items you need. That includes checking the lug nuts, wheels, and tires. Once you’ve determined you can carry the load, move on to the lights and mirrors.
