Serious Hazards
Loss of control of the tow vehicle/trailer combination could result in serious injury or death. The most common
causes for loss of control include:
Failure to adjust driving behavior when towing a trailer
Immoderate speed – Driving too fast for the conditions
With ideal road conditions, the maximum recommended speed for safely towing a trailer is 60 mph. If you drive
too fast, the trailer is more likely to sway, increasing the possibility for loss of control. In addition, it is possible that
the tires may overheat, increasing the chance of a blow out.
Decrease your speed as road, weather, lighting, and other conditions decline.
