Pre-towing tips
Be certain your vehicle maintains a level
position when a loaded and/or unloaded
trailer is hitched. Do not drive the vehicle if it
has an abnormal nose-up or nose-down
condition; check for improper tongue load,
overload, worn suspension orother possible
causes of either condition.
Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving.
Keep the cargo load as low as possible in
the trailer to keep the trailer center of gravity
low.
Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the
trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in
the back half. Also make sure the load is
balanced side to side.
Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, ve-
hicle tire pressure,trailer light operation, and
trailer wheel lug nuts every time you attach a
trailer to the vehicle.
Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not,
install any mirrors required for towing before
driving the vehicle.
