Need Some Towing Tips?

Are you a newbie in the towing world or are you a pro looking for ways to make life a little easier? No matter the situation, there are many things you can do to make sure your trailer is properly hooked up, safe when attached to your vehicle, and so much more.

Here are some important towing tips you can use at any time.

  • Drive slower than normal and allow for extra room to stop: With so much extra weight attached to your truck, you’ll need to start stopping much sooner than you would if you didn’t have anything connected. Not only does this keep you safe, it keeps others on the road safe and can prolong the life of your vehicle. Slow driving movements will prevent your truck from rattling around, as quick motions can cause the trailer to jackknife.
  • Make sure you know the weight of your trailer: Before doing anything else, you must know how much your trailer weighs and make sure that your truck can handle it. If your trailer weighs more than your truck, you run the risk of severely damaging the vehicle and potentially other drivers. You’ll also want to know the GCWR of both the trailer and the vehicle.
  • Use your mirrors: The Ford F-250 mirrors are designed to give you a much wider view of the road and your trailer, so you can keep tabs on it at all times. This also makes changing lanes much easier, which you’ll only want to do if you have more than enough space. The available cameras in the mirrors make driving with a trailer simpler than ever.
  • Check the trailer brakes: Once your trailer is hooked up and secure, one of the last steps you should take before getting out on the road is checking the trailer brakes. When you shift the F-250 into drive, apply the trailer brakes, release the tow vehicle brakes, and let the truck roll forward until it stops. The brakes might not work right away—that is normal. However, if they don’t stop after a few yards, re-check your connections.
  • Keep an eye on drivers in front of you: Aside from driving slower yourself, you’ll want to be alert at all times and anticipate other drivers’ actions. Safety features, like Automatic Emergency Braking and BLIS® with Trailer Coverage, will help with this.2019 Ford F-250 red towing Airstream travel trailer uphill
