Checking Loads

The best way to confirm that all loads

are within limits is to check them at a

public scale. For public scales in your

area, check your local phone book,

or contact your trailer dealer or

rental agency for assistance.

If you cannot get to a public scale,

you can estimate the total trailer

weight by adding the weight of your

trailer (as quoted by the

manufacturer) with everything in or

on the trailer.

If you normally pull the same load

each time you tow a trailer, you can

use a suitable scale or a special

tongue load gauge to check the

tongue load the first time you set up

a towing combination (a fully loaded

vehicle and trailer), then recheck the

tongue load whenever the conditions

change.

Towing Equipment and

Accessories

Towing can require a variety of

equipment, depending on the size of

your trailer, how it will be used, how

much load you are towing, and

where you tow.

Discuss your needs with your trailer

sales or rental agency, and follow the

guidelines in this section. Also make

sure that all equipment is properly

installed and maintained, and that it

meets federal, state, provincial,

territorial and local regulations.

Hitches

Any hitch used on your vehicle must

be properly bolted to the underbody.

Safety Chains

Always use safety chains when you

tow a trailer. Make sure the chains

are secured to the trailer and hitch,

and that they cross under the tongue

and can catch the trailer if it becomes

unhitched. Leave enough slack to

allow the trailer to turn corners

easily, but do not let the chains drag

on the ground.
