Tow (2026 Update)

Before you hit the road, follow this essential checklist to ensure your trip is smooth and stress-free. 1. Know Your Numbers

If you can’t see the rear corners of your trailer, invest in tow mirror extensions . 5. Check Your Tires (All of Them)

If the hitch fails, the crossed chains act as a cradle to catch the tongue, preventing it from digging into the pavement.

Place roughly 60% of the cargo weight in the front half of the trailer (closest to the vehicle).

With a little preparation and a lot of patience, you'll be navigating the highway with confidence.
