Towing Tips

Know Your Ratings

Always check your vehicle's GVWR, GCWR, and tow rating before selecting an RV. These are found on the driver's door jamb or in your owner's manual.

Account for Payload

Remember that passengers, cargo, and gear in your tow vehicle reduce your available towing capacity. Plan accordingly.

Use the Right Hitch

Match your hitch class to your trailer's weight. Fifth wheel and gooseneck hitches offer more stability for heavier loads.

Practice Before You Go

If you're new to towing, practice in an empty parking lot before hitting the road. Get comfortable with turning, backing up, and braking.
