Before you start, check all trailer hitch parts and

attachments, safety chains, electrical connector,

lamps, tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has

electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer

moving and then apply the trailer brake controller

by hand to be sure the brakes are working.

This lets you check your electrical connection at

the same time.

During your trip, check occasionally to be sure

that the load is secure, and that the lamps and any

trailer brakes are still working.

While towing a trailer or when exposed to long

periods of sunshine, the ﬂoor of the truck bed may

become very warm. Avoid putting items in the

truck bed that might be affected by high ambient

temperatures.

Following Distance

Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead

as you would when driving your vehicle without

a trailer. This can help you avoid situations

that require heavy braking and sudden turns.

Passing

You’ll need more passing distance up ahead

when you’re towing a trailer. And, because you’re a

good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther

beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to

your lane.

Backing Up

Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one

hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move

that hand to the left. To move the trailer to the right,

move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly

and, if possible, have someone guide you.

Making Turns

Notice: Making very sharp turns while

trailering could cause the trailer to come in

contact with the vehicle. Your vehicle could be

damaged. Avoid making very sharp turns while

trailering.

When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider

turns than normal. Do this so your trailer

won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs,

trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden

maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
