Hitch safety
Trailer hitch
Your choice of hitch should be based on the weight you plan to tow. Consult a specialist in
hitch systems. The hitch must be calculated from the GVWR and trailer hitch weight. It
must be installed by a qualified company. Prolite does not provide the hitch for the towing
vehicle, weight distribution bars or stabilizers. Your dealer can help you select the right
hitch for your towing vehicle.
Brake controller
You must have a brake controller if your
trailer is equipped with electric brakes.
This is a device installed in the towing
vehicle that activates the trailer’s electric
brakes. Your trailer’s brakes must be
synchronized with those of your towing
vehicle. Never use your towing vehicle’s
brakes or the trailer’s brakes alone to
stop their combined load. Your brake
controller must be adjusted to the brake
controller manufacturer’s specifications
to ensure proper synchronization of the
towing vehicle and trailer. You may also
have to make minor adjustments from
one load to the next and for
road conditions.
