Hitches
It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment.
Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are
a few reasons why you’ll need the right hitch. Here
are some rules to follow:
e
e
The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for
hitches.
Do
not attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches to them. Use only a
frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to the
bumper. Do not use a ball hitch, because it could
pull the bumper loose.
If
you’ll be pulling
a
trailer that, when loaded, will
weigh more than
4,000
Ibs
(1
800
kg), be sure to
use a properly mounted, weight-distributing
hitch and sway control of the proper size. This
equipment is very important for proper vehicle
loading and good handling when you’re driving.
Will you have to make any holes in the body of
your vehicle when you install a trailer hitch?
If you’re using the wiring provided by the
factory-installed hitch, you should not need to make any
holes in the body
of
your vehicle. However,
if
you
have an aftermarket hitch installed, you may need to
make holes in the body.
If you do, then be sure to seal the holes later when you
remove the hitch.
If
you don’t seal them, deadly
carbon monoxide
(CO)
from your exhaust can get into
your vehicle. Dirt and water can, too.
Safety
Chains
You should always attach chains between your vehicle
and your trailer. Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer to help prevent the tongue from
contacting the road
if
it becomes separated from
the hitch. Instructions about safety chains may be
provided by the hitch manufacturer or by the trailer
manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not
attach them to the bumper. Always leave just enough
slack
so
you can turn with your rig. Never allow
safety chains to drag on the ground.
