Trailer Towing Equipment

Hitches
B1004KO01
It's important to have the correct hitch
equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks
going by, and rough roads are a few
reasons why you'll need the right hitch.
Here are some rules to follow:
• Do you have to make any holes in the
body of your vehicle when you install a
trailer hitch? If you do, then be sure to
seal the holes later when you remove
the hitch. If you don't seal them, carbon
monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can
get into your vehicle, as well as dirt and
water.

provided by the hitch manufacturer or
trailer manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendation for
attaching safety chains. Always leave just
enough slack so you can turn with your
trailer. And, never allow safety chains to
drag on the ground.
Trailer brakes
If your trailer is equipped with a braking
system, make sure it conforms to your
state's regulations and that it is properly
installed and operating correctly.
If your trailer weighs more than the
maximum trailer weight without trailer
brakes loaded, then it needs its own
brakes and they must be adequate. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions
for the trailer brakes so you'll be able to
install, adjust and maintain them
properly. Be sure not to modify your
vehicle's brake system.
Do not use a trailer with its own brakes
unless you are absolutely certain that you
have properly set up the brake system.
This is not a task for amateurs. Use an
experienced, competent trailer shop for
this work.

rental hitches or other bumper-type

attach to the bumper.
