Chevy Towing Safety 101

Towing a trailer isn't rocket science, but it does require a bit of know-how. Here are some quick tips to help keep your ride smooth and safe:

• Know your maximum towing capacity. Overloading will affect your brakes, handling, and stability.
• Calculate your payload. That includes passengers, cargo, fuel, and whatever is in the truck bed.
• Practice makes perfect. Turning, reversing, and parking are all different with a trailer in tow. Get accustomed to it before the big haul.

Can Towing Mess Up a Manual Transmission?

Short answer: It can. Manual transmissions don’t always love the extra stress towing brings, especially if you’re not used to handling heavy loads. If you’re towing with a stick shift, make sure you understand the proper techniques to keep your transmission in good shape.
