Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around.
A shifting load can cause an accident.
● Make sure the load does not
interfere with controls or your ability to
see where you are going.
● Drive more slowly than you would
without a load. The more weight you
carry, the slower you should go.
Although conditions vary, it is good
practice not to exceed low range
whenever you are carrying heavier
loads or when towing a trailer.
● Allow more braking distance.
A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
● Avoid making sharp turns unless at
very slow speeds.
● Avoid hills and rough terrain.
Choose terrain carefully. Added
weight affects the stability and handling
of the vehicle.
