Dinghy Towing - Chevrolet 2010 Express Owner's Manual

Here are some important things to consider before
recreational vehicle towing:
•
What is the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?
Be sure to read the tow vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.
•
What is the distance that will be travelled? Some
vehicles have restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.
•
Is the proper towing equipment going to be used?
See your dealer/retailer or trailering professional
for additional advice and equipment
recommendations.
•
Is the vehicle ready to be towed? Just as preparing
the vehicle for a long trip, make sure the vehicle is
prepared to be towed. See Before Leaving on a
Long Trip on page 5-14.
