What are the requirements for towing a trailer?
1 Answers
Towing a trailer requires the following conditions: Choose the appropriate hitch: The hitch for towing is not just about being able to "hook" it up, but it must be securely hooked and properly installed. Double-check that the hitch is properly hooked before towing. If the hitch comes loose halfway due to improper hooking, it can be quite troublesome. Prefer a tow bar: If the vehicle behind has brake issues or needs to be towed on icy or snowy roads, a tow bar should be the first choice. A rigid tow bar can prevent the towed vehicle from losing control of its speed and colliding with the towing vehicle in case of sudden braking or excessive pulling by the towing vehicle. In fact, using a tow bar is generally safer even under normal conditions.
