Whether you plan to go away from Richardson, TX for a weekend or have a lengthier road trip in mind, our team at Lute Riley Honda wants to give you some helpful tasks you can do to get your vehicle prepared for towing a substantial load.
You’ll want to have your vehicle inspected for any telltale hints that indicate trouble brewing, like fraying belts or cracked hoses. Top up all engine fluids and check to make sure your tires and your spare are equal to the demands they’ll face. Make sure you have the correct hitch mounted on your vehicle for the type of trailer you’ll be towing, and always tow less than your vehicle’s limit so you have extra weight you can add if you must.
Have our service team install the proper wiring and test it before you go, ensuring that the brake lights and signal respond correctly. You’ll also want to take a practice drive to make sure you can maneuver safely.
