If You Do Decide To Pull A Trailer

Here are some important points:

• There are many different laws, including speed limit

restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure

your rig will be legal, not only where you live

but also where you will be driving. A good source

for this information can be state or provincial police.

• Consider using a sway control. Ask a hitch

dealer about sway controls.

• Do not tow a trailer at all during the ﬁrst 1,000 miles

(1 600 km) the vehicle is driven. The engine, axle or

other parts could be damaged.

• Then, during the ﬁrst 500 miles (800 km) that the

vehicle tows a trailer, do not drive over 50 mph

(80 km/h) and do not make starts at full throttle.

This helps the engine and other parts of the vehicle

wear in at the heavier loads.

• Obey speed limit restrictions when towing a trailer.

Do not drive faster than the maximum posted

speed for trailers, or no more than 55 mph

(90 km/h), to save wear on the vehicle’s parts.

There are three important considerations have to do

with weight:

• The weight of the trailer.

• The weight of the trailer tongue.

• The total weight on the vehicle’s tires.

Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?

It should never weigh more than 1,000 lbs (450 kg).

But even that can be too heavy.

It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For example,

speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature and

how much the vehicle is used to pull a trailer are all

important. And, it can also depend on any special

equipment that is on the vehicle.
