Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (gvwr) Thetotal allowable weight for the vehicle includingfluids options hitch cargo and trailer-hitchweight The trailerrsquos gvwr is the total allowableweight of the trailer fluids occupants optionsand cargo

Gross Axle Weight Rating (gawr) The totalallowable weight on any given individual axleThis includes the weight of the tires wheelsbrakes and the axle itself

Maximum Tow Rating The manufacturerrsquosweight limit for towed loads For conventionaltrailers this normally includes a hitch-weightlimit as well for fifth-wheels the pin weight isapplied to the truckrsquos gvwr and its rear-axle gawr

Trailer and Tow Rig Matchup

The gvwr and gawr for all motor vehicles arelisted on the data plate typically affixed to thedriverrsquos door frame fuel door glove box end ofthe dashboard or other easy-to-access loca-tion Brochures and window stickers may be in-accurate All trailers should have a weightsticker mdash normally found in an interior cabinetmdash that lists the trailerrsquos Unloaded VehicleWeight (uvw) gvwr weight added by freshwa-ter and LP-gas and the resulting cargo carryingcapacity (ccc)

In many cases especially on older trailersoptional equipment mdash such as air-conditioningunits generators and the fuel they run on mdashsneaks onboard after weighing and may notbe reflected on the sticker (And donrsquot forgetthe fuel-fill tanks that some SURVs offer forcampsite refueling of motorcycles and ATVs)

Recreational Vehicle Industry Association(RVIA) weight label requirements are more in-clusive of dealer-added options and make itmuch easier for buyers to have access to more

accurate weight figuresThe gvwr figures are neither guidelines nor

estimates they are limits and there are numer-ous valid reasons the manufacturer arrived atthe figures given If you think these figures areldquoclose enoughrdquo or have a fudge-factor percent-age built in think again Your warranty cover-age and your safety may be at risk

The only sure-fire way to find out what yourtrailer weighs is to load it as usual for a trip andweigh it at a public scale Without forming along line of commercial trucks waiting theirturns at the scale get the hitch weight axleweight and total weight Assuming that the axleweight is below the gawr the total is below thegvwr and the hitch weight is below the maxi-mum given for your tow vehicle you can thenmove on to tow-vehicle selection

When purchasing a trailer consult theweight sticker on the unit of your choice on adealerrsquos lot and refer to the uvw and ccc

Estimate how much cargo you will addbeing mindful of the gvwr and use that numberwhile selecting a tow vehicle

To a lesser extent tow-vehicle weight isvariable as well Brochures and tow guides fre-quently list how much a tow vehicle weighs butthis number generally applies to the most basicmodel in that configuration without any op-tions In some cases distinctions are made byengine transmission drive system (2WD or4WDAWD) and in other cases by cab or bedstyles If the dealer does not have a vehicleequipped as you want that is available to weighor cannot provide option weights you can formrough estimates mdash but exact figures are theonly way to be certain

Bigger engines add weight diesels more sobecause they come with additional accessories(up to 700 pounds more than the standard gasengine is common) Add up to 175 pounds foran optional transmission about 400 poundsfor 4WD and a bit less than 300 pounds forlonger beds Then add other options like luxu-ry-trim levels as all those electric motors addup The towing package and hitch could addanother 100 pounds and larger wheels andtires can also have an effect

Following is how to calculate the realistictowing capacity of the vehicle that interests you

For example consider a fictional one-tonlongbed diesel extended-cab 2WD single-rear-wheel pickup set up for towing Wersquoll arbi-trarily assign it a gvwr of 9900 pounds a frontgawr of 5000 pounds a rear gawr of 6824pounds a gcwr of 23000 pounds and a quot-ed maximum tow rating of 17000 pounds

As is often the case in single-rear-wheel




trucks the rear axlersquos gawr on this truck is de-rived from each tirersquos maximum load of 3412pounds Pickups such as this normally start atmore than 6000 pounds and with a diesel au-tomatic and nice trim figure that with a full tankof fuel and hitch this unit weighs 7000pounds If we add two ldquostandard-sizerdquo people(154 pounds each) a few tools and somecargo it weighs 7500 pounds That is split to4000 pounds on the front axle and 3500pounds on the rear axle

The first thing you should have noticed isthat the maximum tow rating cannot apply withthe truck fully loaded because gcwr (23000)minus gvwr (9900) leaves 13100 pounds mdashabout 4000 pounds less than quoted towingability After adding options and people to theexample truck and subtracting that value(7500) from gcwr (23000) the effectiveworking tow rating of the truck becomes15500 pounds about 1500 pounds less thanthe truckrsquos quoted maximum towing rating

However you have yet to check all the num-bers and verify that a 15500-pound trailer willwork If that trailer is a fifth-wheel and has 20percent of its weight on the pin that adds 3100pounds to the back of the truck This wouldmake the truck overweight mdash its 7500-poundready-to-roll weight plus the 3100 pounds onthe pin equals 10600 pounds mdash 700 pounds

more than the truckrsquos gvwr and just 224 poundsshy of the rear-axle limit of 6824 pounds

SUVs and other non-pickup tow rigs cannotescape scrutiny The vehiclersquos loaded weightwith the anticipated load of passengersaboard must be subtracted from the gcwr todetermine the realistic tow rating

Other Factors to ConsiderThe tow-ratings chart lists vehicle-towing

maximums segregated by engine cab styledrive and single- or dual-rear wheels as appro-priate In general assume the maximum towrating always requires a towing package mdash andspecial towing equipment (see ldquoWhatrsquos In aTowing Packagerdquo on page 36) mdash and the high-est numerical axle ratio offered and as the ex-ample shows maximums can be confusingYou can do your own estimates by starting withthe information given and keeping the follow-ing generalizations in mind

Transmission For the majority of vehiclesautomatic transmissions offer the higher towratings when they vary by transmission Onheavy-duty (HD) models the difference maybe 1000 pounds or less and on lighter-dutyvehicles a manual tranny might rate a 2000-pound lower tow rating Exceptions includehigh-output engines that are available only withmanual gearboxes vehicles where the manual




transmission weighs more than the automaticand transmissions in vehicles designed forhigh performance and not towing

Axle Ratio Lower gearing (the numerical-ly higher ratios eg 4101 4561 as opposedto 3551 3731) typically produces greatertow ratings because of greater torque multipli-cation There is a wide variance in the axleratiorsquos effect on the tow rating with somediesel-powered pickups varying only a fewhundred pounds On others changing from a3731 to a 4301 sometimes increases thetow rating by 3500 pounds In the past someratings have increased by a factor greater thanthree (from 2000 to 7100 pounds) simply byusing a different axle ratio Lower gearing willalso make your vehicle accelerate quicker upto 50-55 mph In general a one-step drop inaxle ratio (4101 to 3731) on an HD pickupwill drop tow rating and gcwr by a ton

Lower gearing has an adverse effect on fueleconomy but itrsquos usually not proportional to thegain in towing ability Under the best circum-stances the difference between the highestand lowest gear ratios offered (say 3421 and4101) results in a 15-mpg decrease in non-towing steady state-highway cruising In mostconditions that change is less than 1 mpg andif you tow a relatively heavy trailer a lot therersquosno question that the lowest gearing is best

Drive System Vehicles that drive only twowheels be they front or rear generally havehigher tow ratings (all other things beingequal) Even though modern 4WD and AWDsystems are quite efficient a small amount ofparasitic loss uses up energy More importantly4WD systems add weight mdash easily up to 400pounds on some HD pickups mdash and thatweight frequently comes off the tow rating Un-less the gcwr and gvwr are higher a 4WD ver-sion will probably tow a few hundred poundsless than its 2WD counterpart

Towing Package If you can order a tow-ing package do so Not only is it usually re-quired to get the top tow rating but the con-tents rarely can be duplicated for the originalcost mdash and it will add to resale value You canplainly see the hitch receiver or electrical re-ceptacle but there are often other changes tothe wiring system (including up-rated wire andfuses) alternator battery cooling systempower steering and lubricants

Bed LengthStyle If therersquos a differencea longbed truck may rate slightly lower in towcapacity mdash about 150-250 pounds mdash becausethe longer bed adds weight In other cases thereis no change because the longer wheelbase isbeneficial Note that the more ldquostyledrdquo beds mar-keted under a variety of names typically areheavier than conventional slab-sided beds and




that cab-and-chassis figures do not reflect anybed unless otherwise noted A steel bed for amedium-duty cab-and-chassis could quickly eatup an entire ton of its gcwr

Single or Dual Rear Wheels Most peo-ple assume that a dually pickup will have ahigher tow rating than a single-rear wheel unitbut this is not always so In many cases thegcwr is limited by factors other than the num-ber of rear wheels and does not change and inthose cases the weight of the wider axle big-ger brakes and two more tires and wheels issubtracted from the gcwr The dually no doubtprovides a more stable towing platform for theheavier trailers although not always with thehighest tow rating A dually will have a highergvwr because the dual-wheel rear axle mighthave a 10000-pound gawr for example com-pared to the single-rear-wheel truckrsquos 6824-pound gawr Gawr is not always an exact calcu-lation of the tire capacity times the number oftires A dually-equipped truck will be better forhauling a heavy slide-in truck camper and han-dling heavy fifth-wheel pin weights because ofthe weight concentrated on the rear axle ascompared to the average trailerrsquos hitch weight

Tires Wheel sizes continue to grow com-mensurate with their popularity with some towvehicles offering 20-inch wheels as factory op-tions However using a larger wheel and lower-

profile tire means a smaller air cushion and lowertire sidewall to the extent that tow ratings gener-ally drop whenever the wheel size increases mdashand ride comfort can be compromised Read thefine print on the packaging carefully

Practical ApplicationBefore purchasing any vehicle for towing

ensure that the equipment required is availablefor your vehicle You may find that the new-kid-on-the-block is a very capable tow vehicle butno one makes a fifth-wheel hitch for it Fordhas remedied this quandary with an optionalfactory-installed fifth-wheel saddle on 2011Super Duty trucks but other manufacturershave not Also beware of hitch-ball and receiv-er ratings as some trucks are rated for heavierloads than any easily found hardware can han-dle and therefore may require special-orderparts Also keep in mind that the powertrainsused in some vehicles may not be available ineach of the 50 states or Canada

Before purchasing a vehicle we suggest youacquire the manufacturerrsquos comprehensive tow-ing guide available online or at dealerships Besure to read the fine print because in manycases the maximum rating may apply only to oneparticular version and be for a fifth-wheel trailermany larger pickups may have their actual towrating limited by the hitch and hardware q

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

Tow ratings for all vehicle manufacturersTTare listed in alphabetical order andTTare organized by model type andTTconfiguration Under each vehicle brand youwill find three headings Vehicle Engine andTow Limit (lb) The vehicle heading describesthe vehicle model andor configuration andindicates whether the vehicle is 2WD (frontor rear) 4WD or All Wheel Drive (AWD) Theengine heading shows the engine size expressedin liters followed by the configuration (I = InlineV = V engine as in V-6 or V-8) and the numberof cylinders Under tow limit you will find themanufacturerrsquos stated maximum tow capacityfor that vehicle In many instances you maynote a letter(s) andor symbol(s) after themodel or tow rating which indicates a footnotelisting specific requirements for that ratingsuch as a certain gear ratio When letters orsymbols are separated by a comma this is anindicator that more than one footnote applieswhen separated by a forward slash ()eitheror can apply

A slash may also be used to separate twodifferent models if the ratings differ dependingon how the vehicle is equipped In these in-stances ratings relative to the model or itsequipment will be listed in respective orderunder the tow limit heading Example

Vehicle Engine Tow Limit (lb)F-250350 Regular Cab SRW 2WD 54L V-8 10200(i)

In most instances you will find a letter (orletters) which identify the equipment that ratingis based on ie automatic or manual transmis-sion gear ratio towing package etc You will

find the meaning for each of these letters inthe Trailer Life Key to Charts

If there is no letter after the rating thatmeans there is only one rating available Like-wise you may find the word ldquoallrdquo in the enginecolumn that means all available engines arecapable of that particular tow rating

Wersquove also included pertinent factory noteswhere applicable about each vehicle or familyof vehicles but due to space considerations wecannot possibly list all of them When consider-ing a certain vehicle for purchase based on itstow rating make sure to consult with the dealerandor manufacturerrsquos towing guide to getspecifics on what that tow rating is based uponFor example many tow ratings are based on anunloaded vehicle with one occupant if you nor-mally travel with your family and equipment youmust deduct passengerequipment weight ac-cordingly to arrive at that vehiclersquos actual towingcapacity in your application Most trailer weightsare based on the assumption that you will beusing a weight-distributing hitch (and rightfullyso) and have drastically reduced ratings for thesame application using a weight-carrying hitch

Finally remember that every effort hasbeen made to ensure the accuracy of thisguide but many of the ratings contained in itwere considered ldquopreliminaryrdquo by the manufac-turer at the time this guide was published(which is before ldquoofficialrdquo ratings have beenreleased in many cases) Most of the time thenumbers donrsquot change when the official ratingsare released but in some instances they doPerhaps more importantly the ratings donrsquotusually change significantly enough to affectyour purchase decision q

the trailerrsquos hitch weight to all axles of the towvehicle and trailer making larger heavier trail-ers with considerably higher hitch weights tow-able without destabilizing the tow vehicle

A travel trailer with ideal weight distributionwill have a minimum hitch weight of about 10percent of the gross weight and the maximumcan range upward to 15 percent mdash providing itdoes not violate the rating of the hitch

Except for the lightest folding trailers hitch-es rated Class II and higher are used for recre-

ational towing and they use a receiver boltedto the tow vehiclersquos frame The hitch receiver mdashwhich may have box dimensions of 11frasl4 inchessquare 2 inches square or 21frasl2 inches squarewith larger boxes for higher load ratings mdashaccepts a slide-in ball mount (or draw bar)which is secured with a pin

Besides serving as the trailerreceiver at-tachment point the ball mount also is used invarying heights (known as ldquodroprdquo) to couple thetrailer in a level fashion (frame parallel to theroad surface) which is desirable for best stabil-ity and trailer-brake performance Some ball

mounts are fixed while others are adjustableBall mounts used for weight-carrying hitch-

es are quite different than those used for loaddistributing Need for weight-distributing hitch-es varies with tow-vehicle type and trailerweight A trailer with 350 pounds of hitchweight may present no challenge for a stifflysprung long-wheelbase HD pickup while itmay destabilize a softly sprung compact SUVIn general a weight-distributing hitch will im-

prove stability in most situations becauseweight resting on a hitch ball (when a weight-carrying hitch is used) loads the rear axle excessively by placing all of the hitch weight onthat axle in addition to weight that is transferredfrom the front axle to the rear in a see-sawlever action

Because many receivers are usable in eitherweight-carrying or weight-distributing configu-rations mdash depending on the ball mount mdash thereceiverrsquos manufacturer may list both ratings

Weight-distributing hitches should be usedin many weight situations of Class II and inmost situations of Class III and above Unliketheir weight-carrying counterparts these hitchestypically use a much heavier ball mount (thatrsquosadjustable in height) plus a pair of spring barsthat provide the leverage needed to distributeweight fore and aft

Adjusting the HitchAfter having a load-distributing hitch of proper

weight rating installed owners may take the restfor granted which can be a costly error becausean improperly adjusted load-distributing hitchcan contribute to trailer sway which is a very un-desirable mdash and unsafe mdash handling trait

The keys to happy towing are proper ballheight and proper load (tension) on the springbars When all aspects are correct the towvehicle and the trailer are at proper ride heightwhich in most cases is level One exception willbe described later Proper hitch adjustmenthelps prevent rear-axle overloading and im-proves braking and steering response

Evaluating the proper adjustment of a load-distributing hitch is relatively simple The towvehicle should maintain the same attitude beforehitching that it does after hitching measured atreference points at the front and rear bumpersor wheel wells If it is level before hitching itshould be level afterward although slightlylower due to the addition of hitch weight Levelattitude means adequate load is placed on the

spring bars to distribute portions of the hitchweight equally to the front and rear axles If therear of the tow vehicle sags after hitching thenthe spring-bar loading isnrsquot adequate

The exception to level attitude If the towvehicle is a stiffly sprung pickup and the rear ofthe truck is higher than the front that attitudeshould be maintained after hitching Suchtrucks often will carry heavy loads without theneed for weight-distributing hitches and with-out sagging But care must be exercised hereAlthough the truck may not look like itrsquos sag-ging visually the hitch weight carried by therear axle may still create an unstable situation

If the trailer is not level after spring bars havebeen adjusted to create the proper tow-vehicleattitude the ball height should be corrected

Trailer sway can be a problem if trailerbalance or hitch adjustment are not correctbecause the trailer has steering leverage onthe tow vehicle by virtue of being connectedto the tow vehicle 3 or 4 feet behind the rearaxle With correct hitching trailer balance maybe a problem if the hitch weight is less than10 percent of gross weight It should be morethan 10 percent (we recommend a minimum of12 percent) for best stability

To determine the weight first get a reading on axle weight (above) then unhitch the trailer for a total weight reading and then subtract the two

Even with a well-balanced trailer and aproperly adjusted hitch use of a sway-controldevice is highly recommended Often calledsway bars (not to be confused with anti-rollbars fitted to axles of tow vehicles) sway-control devices are designed to damp rotationof the coupler on the hitch ball They improvethe handling characteristics of the trailertowvehicle combination whether the hitch methodis weight-carrying or weight-distributing

Sway-control devices are available in twodifferent configurations the most popular ofwhich is one that employs a steel bar attachedto the ball mount that is encased in a rail ortube attached to a small ball on the trailer A-frame Inside the rail or tube is friction materialthat is clamped against the steel bar Any piv-oting of the trailer coupler on the bar causesthe bar to slide within the rail creating drag anddamping sway On larger trailers itrsquos oftenpossible to use a pair of friction-type units foradditional sway control

One popular hitch the Equal-i-zer includesa friction feature in the hitch design in that thetips of spring bars create friction on trailer-frame brackets Cam-type sway units work bymodifying the operation of the spring bars on

a weight-distributing hitch As the trailer turnsa cam increases the tension on one of thebars creating a force that tends to pull thetrailer back into a straight line The harder thetrailer turns the stronger this self-centeringforce becomes Since this scheme relies onspring-bar tension itrsquos generally most effectiveon trailers with relatively high hitch weights(eg trailers requiring considerable spring-bartension)

The Hensley Arrow and Pulliam EnterprisesrsquoPullRite hitch systems offer different ap-proaches to controlling sway

The Hensley unit prevents sway through useof trapezoidal hitch linkages that make the towvehicle and trailer act as a single unit with nopivoting of the coupler on the ball unless thetow vehicle turns Thus during typical highwaytravel the tow vehicle and trailer are connectedas non-articulated vehicles and tend to functionas a single unit Even so there is no restrictionon the tow vehiclersquos capability for turns

The PullRite in effect moves the hitch pivotpoint to a location immediately aft of the towvehiclersquos rear axle dramatically reducing theleverage the trailer can exert on the tow vehicle

Fifth-Wheel HitchesFifth-wheel towing is a different story alto-

gether The trailerrsquos kingpin serves as the pivotpoint for the fifth-wheel hitch which is centeredslightly ahead or above the truckrsquos rear axleThe trailerrsquos kingpin slides into the hitch saddlewhere it is secured by latching jaws or someother mechanism This saddle is attached to asupport base which transfers the towingforces to the truck frame

The design prevents the trailer from havingany steering effect on the tow vehicle and iswhat gives fifth-wheel trailers such good roadmanners Wind gusts and road irregularitieshave little to no effect on tow-vehicle stability

Most hitches are secured to the bed with apair of mounting rails while other underbed

systems leave the truck bed flat after the hitchis removed

Until now fifth-wheel hitches have beenstrictly aftermarket add-ons But Ford hasupped the ante on the 2011 Ford Super Dutywith the introduction of an industry-first factory-installed fifth-wheel (and goosneck)hitch providing clean installation and a factorywarranty The trailerrsquos electrical connection hasbeen mounted into the side of the bed foradded convenience

Most removable aftermarket systems usepermanently mounted rails with pins to securethe hitch saddle The underbed style of fifth-wheel-hitch mount is completely different in

that the entire hitch mechanism is removed bysimply pulling a lever in the wheel well PullRitealso uses an underbed system with removableconnection pins Some systems where thehitch saddle and support base can be removedseparately make it easier on the back whenlifting the hardware

Many fifth-wheel hitches are mounted so theytilt fore and aft however having only the fore-and-aft pivot restricts side-to-side movement

Some hitches have heads that pivot in mul-tiple directions allowing the pinbox to move inany direction with respect to the pickup whilestill maintaining a tight mechanical connectionThis also makes it easier to hitch or unhitch thetrailer on uneven ground

Another strategy for improving trailer-truckflexibility involves the use of air springs as partof the hitch design Typically the hitch is sus-pended on multiple bladder-type air bagswhich support most of the trailerrsquos kingpinweight Aside from providing considerablearticulation these bags are also capable ofsmoothing out much of the road shocks andvibration that would otherwise be transmittedfrom the trailer to the tow vehicle Adjustmentsto the system can be accomplished by varying

the amount of air pressure in the bagsOther air-suspension hitches use a hinged

pivot arm and a single airbag setup to providetruck-to-trailer impact damping while the hitch-saddle mechanism provides the side- andforeaft head tilting

Shortbed pickups are now more popular thanever particularly among extended-cab modelsHowever a short bed often causes complicationswhen using the truck for towing a fifth-wheelbecause the proper hitch-mounting location isfar enough forward to cause trailer-to-cab colli-sions during sharp turns Installing an extendedpinbox provides a workable solution with smallertrailers with modest pin weights however owners

should first check with the pinboxmanufacturer before adding anyextension

One solution is a conventionalhitch that can be manually unlockedand moved aft on a special set ofrails before making tight turns Pull-Rite (SuperGlide) and Reese(Sidewinder) offer hitches that per-form this motion automaticallyreturning to the forward-towingposition after the turn is completed

Rearward travel can be as much as 22 inches forsome models which is generally adequate for ac-commodating 102-inch-wide trailers Turns astight as 90 degrees are possible

Maximum weight ratings for fifth-wheelhitches range up to 25500 pounds grossweight with as much as 25 percent of it on thehitch (most fivers have 20 percent hitch weightor less) and itrsquos best to choose a unit that notonly will handle the trailer it will be used totow but also any possibility of a larger traileralthough a higher-rated hitch will cost moreand will be slightly heavier

Whether while towing a conventional traileror a fifth-wheel the use of a properly ratedhitch adjusted correctly will ensure a safe andpleasant towing experience q

And perhaps best of all use of the factoryoptions means being ready for the road is aturnkey operation that calls for few or no tripsto specialty shops after leaving the dealership

In many cases you donrsquot have a choice Ifthe vehicle is to be rated for its highest towingcapacity the towing-package option is manda-tory to give the tow vehicle its optimum per-formance potential For less-strenuous dutythe towing package is optional

Check the dealer literature to determine thecontent of the towing-package option The fol-lowing are some of the items you will likelyencounter

Axle Ratio Most packages include a lower(numerically higher) axle ratio for example a3731 or 4101 instead of the 3551 thatcomes with the stock vehicle A lower ratio re-sults in greater torque multiplication at the rearwheels which means more power for towing Italso means the engine turns somewhat fasterfor a given road speed but thatrsquos the tradeofffor improved towing performance

Hitch Receiver If the tow vehicle alreadyhas a receiver all you need to select is theproper ball mount and the associated hardwaresuch as a load-distributing hitch The receiverwill be properly matched to the tow vehiclersquostrailer-towing rating so you neednrsquot worryabout any hitch-overloading situations mdash aslong as you pay attention to the numbersYoursquoll also avoid interference problems with theexhaust pipe(s) the fuel tank and the spare tire

Wiring Package The wiring package is agroup of color-coded pigtails near the back

bumper thatrsquos ready for installation of the trailer-plug receptacle It can be as complete as aplug or two installed out back or a pre-wiredpigtail for brake-control installation under thedash and full integration with the tow tow vehi-clersquos electric system

Alternator It takes extra charging current tokeep a trailerrsquos battery(ies) charged in additionto handling the electrical-power needs of thetow vehicle The battery itself may also be larger

Heavy-Duty Suspension The trailer and itshitch weight add load on the tow-vehicle sus-pension so the normal reaction among dealer-ship sales staff and buyers alike is to order theoptional heavy-duty (HD) suspension particu-larly when fifth-wheel towing is involved In factwhen the trailer is a conventional ball-type traileritrsquos often best not to order a heavy-spring op-tion if there is a choice (if the towing packagedoes not include HD suspension) for trucksrated 8600 pounds and above because stiffride and the tendency of the rear springs to dosome or most of the work of the load-distributinghitch can be the result A stiff ride is a verycommon complaint among owners of 3frasl3

4fraslfrasl -tonand one-ton pickups not towing fifth-wheels

A case can be made for not ordering an HDsuspension even for fifth-wheel towing mdash ex-cept in very high pin-weight situations mdash optinginstead to install auxiliary springs or air bagsafter delivery to support the pin weight (ifnecessary) which allows a more civilized rideon standard rear springs while not towing Itrsquosnecessary to compare the standard and op-tional rear-axle-weight ratings relative to the




anticipated trailer pin weight Itrsquos easy to up-grade rear suspensions after a truck is builtbut nearly impossible to soften the ride of anoversprung truck without replacing the sus-pension SUVs have enough of their bodyweight on the rear axle so thatrsquos generally notan issue

Brake Control Fordrsquos Super Duty was the

original tow rig to offer a factory-installedbrake controller and GM and Dodge havesince followed suit Otherwise towing pack-ages usually include a trailer-wiring harnesswith a circuit for an aftermarket brake-controlunit mdash a very worthwhile component of thepackage (see page 36)

Stability Control More manufacturers arenow offering electronic stability control Inaddition Fordrsquos 2011 Super Duty trucks nowinclude Trailer Sway Control (TSC) which candetermine the yaw motion (sway) of the truckand take action from applying precise brakingto reducing engine torque

Mirrors Many towing packages offer mir-rors designed to be extended outward whiletowing trailers

Extra Cooling The largest possible radiatora larger transmission-oil cooler and often apower-steering-fluid cooler are essential partsof the usual HD cooling component of a tow-ing package and we advise that no tow vehicleshould be ordered without them

These components will not only help thetow vehicle avoid overheating any vital func-tional parts but they will also lead to longertrouble-free component service life q

Fordrsquos folding mirrors offer a clear view of the side of the trailer when theyrsquore extendedfor towing and require less space thanconventional mirrors when folded

should be adjusted so that maximum brakingaction does not cause trailer-wheel lockup Im-proper controller adjustment is a major cause ofinadequate braking so itrsquos wise to study themanufacturerrsquos instructions Travel-trailer insta-bility (fishtailing) should not occur in a well-bal-anced well-hitched combination but if it doesindependent actuation of trailer brakes usuallywill bring the trailer back into line

When towing with a diesel an aftermarketexhaust brake can be extremely beneficial For2011 Super Duty trucks Ford offers fully inte-grated exhaust-brake control Therersquos no but-ton to push the diesel powertrain calibrationautomatically increases exhaust back pressureDodge also offers an integrated exhaust brakefor 2011 Ram trucks with Cummins engines

On the Right TrackAll trailers require more space for turns and

travel trailers follow the tow-vehicle track moreclosely than do fifth-wheels which track farther

to the inside of a turn Thereis need for continual aware-ness which should eventu-ally become second-natureafter a modest amount ofon-the-road experience

Fifth-wheel trailers aredifferent to back than con-ventional trailers and requiremore practice for someoneaccustomed to backing aconventional trailer A well-used technique involvesplacing onersquos hand at the

bottom of the steering wheel and moving it inthe same direction the trailer is intended to goItrsquos more effective with travel trailers than withfifth-wheels which often require more turning ofthe steering wheel Handheld two-way radioscan allow an assistant to more effectively relaybacking instructions to the driver

Before each trip itrsquos essential to check thetires to assure that inflation pressures matchthose molded on tire sidewalls (cold) or thatthey are appropriate for your load (consult boththe tire and vehicle loadinflation tables) Alsobe sure to inspect all vehicle fluids per standardmaintenance procedure during heavy-duty ve-hicle use cycles and make sure trailer-wheellug nuts are tightened to factory specifications

Trailering is a great way to explore the newhorizons and a great way to check out the won-derful camping destinations that are availableto owners of recreational trailers And alwayskeep in mind that defensive driving will pay offin safe travel q

be in the forefront of your mind right from thestart Maintaining extended following dis-tances is one of the most important towing-related driving habits that initially is difficultto adhere to

Even though trailer brakes may be function-al braking distances almost always are extend-ed Itrsquos also important to make lane changescarefully and slowly and to allow extended dis-tances for passing High-quality solidly mount-ed extendible mirrors with large reflectiveareas mdash adjusted properly mdash are also essentialSome manufacturers include factory-installedextendible mirrors like those seen on FordSuper Duty trucks

Speedy traffic seems more tolerant of slow18-wheelers than of slow RVs which makescourtesy an important safety factor for RVowners because an irate driver trying to passcan be a serious safety threat Frequent moni-toring of rearview mirrors is necessary whiletowing when a vehicle is tailgating and tryingto pass we should help bydriving slightly to the rightto give the other driver abetter view of the roadahead even if a passingopportunity does not existat the time We should useturnouts whenever possibleand avoid following anothervehicle so closely that a ve-hicle overtaking from therear cannot return to theproper lane

Brake TimeWhile tow-vehicle and trailer brakes are ad-

equate for most situations care is necessary toavoid overheating which can lead to brakefade If brake fade occurs it will likely be onsteep downgrades If this happens friction willraise the temperature of brake pads and liningsto extremely high levels resulting in temporaryloss of braking

The cure is prevention such as downshift-ing to a gear range that is low enough to retardspeed sufficiently that brakes need not beused more than occasionally This way enoughbraking performance is reserved to make anemergency stop should it become necessary

When braking on a grade is necessaryapply the brakes intermittently with moderatepressure and release the pedal to allow thebrakes to cool

The action of electric trailer brakes shouldbe apparent to the driver and sufficient enoughto handle the trailerrsquos weight The controller
