8 Tips For Safe Trailer Towing With Your Jeep Gladiator

Here, we have put together 8 great tips for safe trailer towing. Keep in mind that certain types of towing may require special procedures. Be sure to consult a professional if you are unfamiliar trailer towing with your towing application. Safe trailer towing should always be a priority. Your local dealership should be a good place for additional trailer towing tips.

1. Stay Within Your Towing Limits. Review the towing capacity of your specific vehicle and ensure it’s capable of handling the weight of your trailer. Exceeding the maximum towing capacity can result in dangerous handling, insufficient braking ability, or serious damage to the vehicle’s suspension, engine and drivetrain.
2. Always consider cargo weight when towing. If you plan on carrying extra cargo or several passengers, you should also ensure you’re not overloading the tow vehicle itself. Refer to the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) which should be inside your vehicles driver side door like displayed above.
3. Pack your trailer properly. First, it is important to stay within the trailer’s maximum load capacity. Next, have all cargo properly positioned. You want roughly 60% of the trailer’s load placed over the front half of the trailer. Then, evenly distribute weight to the left and right of the trailer. Last but not least, secure all cargo to prevent the load from shifting.
4. Check your tire pressure. This is for both your tow vehicle and your trailer. Tires not properly inflated negatively affects handling. In addition, under inflated tires can create more rolling resistance, which not only forces the engine to work harder and consume more fuel, but increases tire temperatures and may contribute to a blow-out as well.
5. Inspect your trailer’s hub bearings. Unless you disassemble your hub, it is hard to inspect it completely. However, you should make sure they are well greased. This will keep them in good shape. Especially, when trailering on long trips.
6. Check your lights. Most of the time your tail lights and marker lights on your trailer are the last thing you would think of. With this being said, they are very important. A trailer with no lights is easily overlooked when approaching a stopped vehicle at night. Have a second person stand where they can see the lights as you go through the different lights to make sure they function properly.
7. Check your brakes. If you have a trailer that has brakes, it is just as important that they are working properly as the brakes on your tow vehicle are. . Be sure both your tow vehicle and your trailer brakes are working properly.
8. Have your mirrors properly adjusted. Your mirrors should be adjusted to give you a clear view that extends to the end of the trailer. Some vehicles have mirrors available that are specifically for towing. You can check with your local dealership parts department to see if these are available for your vehicle.

Tips For Loading The Truck Bed On Your Gladiator

Pickup trucks are loaded down and drive with little or no attention to cargo arrangement, or safety of operation. Where you place heavy cargo inside your Gladiator has a great deal of bearing on how well your truck adapts to the added payload. Here are a couple tips for loading the truck bed properly.

1. Always place heavy cargo as far forward as possible. Always begin loading at the point closest to the cab working toward the rear bumper. Secure all loads using some sort of a tiedown.
2. Evenly distribute porous materials across the bed. Porous materials, such as dirt, sand, and gravel should be loaded into the front half of the bed and spread towards the rear in a uniform fashion. Secondly, a liner underneath these types of materials will serve to aid in unloading. Always cover porous materials with a tarp.
