Towing Tips

Whether you're new to towing or are a seasoned pickup driver, it's always best to know the best precautions and methods for seamless and safe towing.

  • Ensure you distribute weight evenly on the trailer.
  • Know how much your vehicle is capable of towing and hauling, and do not exceed that weight limit.
  • Increase your stopping distance. Because stopping with more weight requires more time and distance, begin to decelerate earlier than you normally would.
  • Maintain a safe speed to avoid trailer sway.
