If you’ll be pulling a trailer that, when loaded, will weigh

more than 5,000 lbs (2 270 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 driving. You should always use a sway control

if your trailer will weigh more than these limits. You can

ask a hitch dealer/retailer about sway controls.

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. Always leave just enough slack so you can

turn with your rig. Never allow safety chains to drag on

the ground.

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer weighs more than 2,000 lbs (900 kg)

loaded, then it needs its own brakes – and they must be

adequate. Be sure to read and follow the instructions

for the trailer brakes so you’ll be able to install,

adjust and maintain them properly.

Driving with a Trailer

Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience.

Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get

to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of

handling and braking with the added weight of the trailer.

And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are

driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as

responsive as your vehicle is by itself.

Before you start, check all trailer hitch parts and

attachments, safety chains, electrical connector, lamps,

tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has electric

brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and then

apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure

the brakes are working. This lets you check your

electrical connection at the same time.

During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the

load is secure, and that the lamps and any trailer

brakes are still working.
