Dinghy Towing - Chevrolet 2005 Cobalt Owner's Manual

Here are some important things to consider before you
do recreational vehicle towing:
•
What is the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?
Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.
•
How far will you tow? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how long they can tow.
•
Do you have the proper towing equipment?
See your dealer or trailering professional for
additional advice and equipment recommendations.
•
Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as you
would prepare your vehicle for a long trip, you
will want to make sure your vehicle is prepared to
be towed. See Before Leaving on a Long Trip
on page 4-22.
