Towing Accessories You Need for Your Trailer

Before you set off on the open road with your trailer you’ll need a few towing accessories. To be sure you’ve got everything you need to tow safely you’ll want to read our article below. If you’re still looking for your perfect trailer, feel free to stop by our dealership in Heber City, Utah to browse our impressive inventory!  

Tow chains and Sway Bars

In order to stay safe out on the road, it’s extremely important that you use tow chains and sway bars. Tow chains keep your vehicle and trailer from becoming separated in case your hitch malfunctions and disconnects. Meanwhile, sway bars keep your trailer from fishtailing on windy days, or if your cargo isn’t distributed evenly. Both of these products are extremely important for avoiding accidents out on the road.  

Wiring Harness 

No matter what kind of trailer you have it’s extremely important that you have the correct hitch wiring on hand. This allows your trailer's brake lights to function properly. Without this wiring cars behind you may end up rear-ending your trailer and damaging your property. 

Hitch Pins

Hitch pins are small metal bars that keep your hitch in place. These pins may also come with helpful locking features that add an extra measure of security. If you want to avoid an accident out on the road, or a thief from taking off with your equipment, it’s wise to invest in these helpful little accessories.
