Total Weight on Your Vehicle’s Tires

Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the upper

limit for cold tires. You’ll find these numbers on the

Tire-Loading label at the rear edge of the driver’s door

or see “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index. Then be

sure you don’t go over the GVW limit for your vehicle,

including the weight of the trailer tongue.

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:

The rear bumper on your vehicle is not intended for

hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or other

bumper

-type hitches to it. Use only a frame-mounted

hitch that does not attach to the bumper.

Will you have to make any holes in the body of your

vehicle when you install a trailer hitch? 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 (see “Carbon Monoxide” in the Index). 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 so that the tongue will not drop to 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.

And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground.

Trailer Brakes

If your trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs. (450 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. Because you have anti

-lock

brakes, do not try to tap into your vehicle’s brake

system. If you do, both brake systems won’t work well,

or at all.
