A remodeler who was once a home builder shares tips for success in making the switch. Towing the safe way is a key to keeping your business running. A coastal home requires beautiful and tough floors.
Business Tip: Towing the Safe Way
Tow vehicle with adequate horsepower, torque, weight, length.
Vehicle towing capacity should exceed the weight of a loaded trailer.
Tow vehicle should have towing capacity higher than the trailer's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).
More torque=Less stress on engine when towing.
Get truck with towing package, which usually includes heavier duty components such as the radiator, batter, transmission. Also includes fuses and wiring for lights and other equipment.
When backing up with a trailer, put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and turn the wheel in the direction that you want the trailer to go.
