Safe Towing Practices

Safe towing involves selecting the right trailer and hitch for your vehicle’s capacity, ensuring they are properly connected and secured. Distribute the load evenly to maintain balance and reduce strain on your vehicle. Always check tire pressure, lighting, and brakes on both your vehicle and trailer before hitting the road. Drive at a steady pace, avoid sudden turns or stops, and increase following distance for safety. Practice turning and reversing with the trailer in safe areas first. Following these practices helps prevent accidents, reduces equipment wear, and ensures a smoother, safer towing experience for everyone.
