That’s the reason
for
this section. In it are many
time-tested, important trailering tips and safety rules.
Many of these are important for your safety and that of
your passengers.
So
please read this section carefully
before you pull a trailer.
Load-pulling components such as the engine,
transmission, wheel assemblies and tires are forced to
work harder against the drag
of
the added weight. The
engine
is
required to operate at relatively higher speeds
and under greater loads, generating extra heat. What’s
more, the trailer adds considerably to wind resistance,
increasing the pulling requirements.
If
You
Do
Decide
To
Pull
A
Trailer
If
you
do,
here are some important points:
0
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’ll
be driving.
A
good source for this
information can be state or provincial police.
0
Consider using
a
sway control. You can ask
a
hitch
dealer aho.ut sway controls.

Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first
500
miles
(800
km)
your new vehicle
is
driven. Your engine,
axle or other parts could be damaged.
Then, during the first
500
miles
(800
km)
that you
tow a trailer, don’t drive over
50
mph
(80
km/h)
and
don’t make starts at
full
throttle. This helps your
engine and other parts
of
your vehicle wear in at the
heavier loads.
If
you
have an automatic transmission, you can
use
DRIVE (D) (or, as you need
to,
a lower gear)
when towing
a
trailer. Operating your vehicle in
DRIVE (D) when towing a trailer will minimize heat
buildup and extend the life of your transmission. If
you
have
a
manual transmission and you are towing
a trailer, it’s better not to use
FIFTH
(5)
gear. Just
drive in FOURTH
(4)
gear (or, as you need to, a
lower gear).
Three important considerations have to do with weight:
0
the weight
of
the trailer,
0
the weight
of
the trailer tongue
0
and the weight on your vehicle’s tires.
