The Ultimate Towing Checklist
Before you pull out of the lot, run through this quick checklist. It takes 60 seconds and prevents 99% of towing problems.
Check All Lights
Confirm the coupler is locked, the correct ball size is used, and safety chains are properly attached. Make sure the jack is fully raised before driving.
Check the Load Position
Test brake lights, turn signals, and running lights to ensure they are working correctly. Proper lighting keeps you visible and legal on the road.
Check the Load Position
Make sure the load is balanced and centered on the trailer. Proper weight placement helps prevent sway and improves control.
Inspect Straps and Securement
Check that all straps or chains are tight and properly positioned. Nothing should be loose or able to shift during transport.
Confirm Brake Controller Settings
Verify the brake controller gain is set correctly for your load. Proper brake settings ensure smooth and safe stopping.
