Trailer Hauling - Chevrolet 1986 Corvair Owner's Manual

TRAILER
Passenger cars are designed and intended to be
used primarily as passenger conveyances. A trailer cannot
be towed behind a passenger car without having some
effect on method of ope.ration, durability and economy.
Maximum satisfaction and pleasure will be derived
through use of proper equipment and avoiding over-
loads and other abusive operation.
No special equipment is required, other than an
appropriate hitch, for Chevrolet cars to handle a trailer
with gross weight less than 1,000 pounds in an adequate
manner under normal occasional use although tire infla-
tion recommendations outlined in this Manual should be
followed. Chevrolet makes light duty trailer hitches avail-
HAULING
able through Chevrolet Dealer Parts and Accessories
Departments. For hauling trailers heavier than 1,000
pounds, it is recommended that an appropriate load
equalizing, frame mounted hitch be purchased from a
reliable manufacturer. Bumper and axle type hitches are
not recommended. Generally trailer tongue loads should
be minimized by maintaining proper distribution of the
load in the trailer. General information on trailer hauling
and optional equipment is available in booklet form and
can be obtained by writing to Chevrolet Division, Gen-
eral Motors Corporation, Merchandising Department,
