Towing Advice
#2
make sure the truck can handle towing 6,000lbs. It's best to have trailer brakes on one axle of the trailer,which means you need the truck to have a controller in the cab wired in. All those tires should be in good condition along with the lights!!!! I use 4 axle tie downs for my rig. Before that I used those heavy duty ratchet straps 2-3" wide!!! Do not use anything smaller. I would use 4 if you can, if not try 2 in the front(1 near the knuckles on each side) and you can get away with 1 in the back wrapped around the 9". Always try to hook the straps to the widest points outside the trailer. Alway tie up any left-over strap...dont let it drag down the road. Try to load the bronco on the trailer after you have the truck and trailer on level ground. That way you can drive onto the trailer and adjust how much tongue weight you need(ie. more tongue weight=bronco closer to the front of trailer) Hope this helps,Chuck
