WHAT MATTERS
The details behind a reliable answer
TowGauge separates vehicle identity, manufacturer ratings, vehicle-specific inputs and equipment guidance instead of treating them as one data source.
Electrical installation
Trailer wiring and brake-controller circuits must be protected, connected and tested correctly.
Setup after installation
Weight distribution, controller gain, ball height and trailer attitude often require adjustment after the hardware is installed.
HOW IT WORKS
A clear path from question to answer
Use the correct component
Verify vehicle and trailer compatibility first.
Follow both manufacturers
Vehicle and component instructions can each contain important limits and procedures.
Test before travel
Inspect the hitching system, lights, brakes, breakaway system and clearances before towing.
