You can ask a hitch dealer aboutsway controls. 0 Don't tow a trailer at all during the first 1000 miles (1 600 km) your could be new vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts damaged. Then, during the first SO0 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer, don't drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and don't make starts at full throttle. This helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads. 0 Obey speed limit restrictions when towing a trailer. Don't drive faster than the maximum posted speed for trailers (or nomore than 55 mph (90 km/h)) to save wear on your vehicle's parts. Three important considerations have to do with weight: Weight of the Trailer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It should never weigh more than 1,000 pounds (450 kg) total, including the load. But even that can be too heavy. It depends onhow you plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature how much your vehicle is used to and pull a trailer are all important. And, it can also dependon any special equipment thatyou have on your vehicle.
