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 information label at the rear edge of the

driver’s door or see “Tire Loading” 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:

If you use a step

-bumper hitch, your bumper could

be damaged in sharp turns. Make sure you have

ample room when turning to avoid contact between

the trailer and 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 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.
