Helpful Information
Here are some frequently asked questions about trailer towing.
How do you tow a trailer for the first time?
Before towing a trailer, ensure you’re aware of weight compatibility. Certain trucks and cars have specific towing weight limits, so the weight of your tow rig and trailers should always match your vehicle's tow rating.
You can find this information on your owner's manual or check the manufacturer's website for more details.
How do you balance a trailer for towing?
Your trailer load must be balanced to safely and efficiently tow a trailer. Most Mopar trailer towing guides recommend distributing 60% of your trailer load's weight to its front half and securing it with tie-downs or straps. Otherwise, it might cause the load to shift during your journey, making your trailer feel unstable.
What happens if you start towing a heavy trailer?
If you start moving a trailer that’s too heavy for your vehicle, your engine could become damaged. Several things could go wrong if you exceed your vehicle's maximum towing rate, such as overheating, transmission damage, and damaged suspension and braking systems. Additionally, it could cause undue stress to your trailer's frame.
Should I add air to my tires when towing a car trailer?
It's best to blow up your car's tires to their max cold pressure when hauling a trailer. Even if you're only moving half the weight of your vehicle's maximum towing rate, it's crucial to strictly follow the max cold PSI of your model. You can find these details on the sidewall of your wheels.
What gear should you use when hauling a trailer?
The gear you should use when towing a car trailer depends on the weight of your load and the grade of the hill. But experts suggest keeping your transmission in the third gear, so it stays in a range where it makes the ultimate torque. This tip also ensures you won't lug your engine by keeping it out of top gear.
