How can I make my vehicle more stable when towing?
Towing a heavy load can make your vehicle feel unsteady, especially if the rear sags under the weight. Adding air helper springs or jounce bumpers helps keep your truck or SUV level, improving control and reducing strain on your suspension. Keeping your trailer’s tongue weight properly balanced also plays a big role in keeping everything stable on the road.
Do I really need towing mirrors?
If your trailer is wider than your tow vehicle, towing mirrors make a huge difference. They give you a clearer view of the road behind you, helping with lane changes, turns, and backing up. Some mirrors extend manually, while others slide or fold out when needed. Having a wider field of vision makes towing safer and less stressful.
What does a weight distribution hitch actually do?
A weight distribution hitch helps spread your trailer’s weight more evenly across your tow vehicle’s axles, keeping the front end from lifting and the rear from sagging. This improves steering, braking, and overall handling, making towing feel more like normal driving. It also helps reduce trailer sway, especially on highways or when passing large trucks.
How does trailer sway control work?
Trailer sway happens when wind, passing vehicles, or sudden movements cause your trailer to shift side to side. Electronic sway control detects movement and applies braking or adjusts engine power to help straighten things out. Some weight distribution hitches also come with built-in sway control, using friction or tension to keep the trailer steady.
Are backup cameras worth it for towing?
Backing up with a trailer can be tricky, especially when lining up your hitch or reversing into a tight spot. A backup camera gives you a clear view behind your trailer, making parking and hitching up much easier. Some cameras mount to your truck, while others attach to the trailer itself for a full view of what’s behind you.
