ChooseWisely

Paying close attention to the tow ratings is necessary to make appropriate model and option choices

BY DUNCAN OrsquoNEAL

With so many choices available in towvehicles selecting the one that worksbest for your application may seem like

a daunting task There are many variables to con-sider including budget brand and towing capacityand itrsquos important to examine them all carefullybefore making a purchase Going through theeffort to better understand each variable and toaccount for all of them up front will lead to amore pleasant trailering experience later

Weight MattersThe tow-ratings guide in this section lists the

maximum tow ratings for vehicles with specific

equipment but many buyers interpret the maxi-mum vehiclesrsquo tow ratings with far too much op-timism Always check the manufacturerrsquos figuresbefore making a purchase The following is anexplanation of the terms you need to knowwhich when combined with readings from apublic scale and your own calculator should helpyou determine the correct tow rating for the towvehicle you plan to buy

Gross Combination Weight Rating (gcwr)The total allowable weight of the truck the trailerthe cargo in each fluids and occupants

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (gvwr) Thetotal allowable weight for the vehicle including

005-TL0901 TG-Vehicle Sele 103008 231 PM Page 5




fluids options hitch cargo and trailer-hitchweight The trailerrsquos gvwr is the total allowableweight of the trailer fluids occupants optionsand cargo

Gross Axle Weight Rating (gawr) Thetotal allowable weight on any given individualaxle This includes the weight of the tireswheels brakes and the axle itself

Maximum Tow Rating The manufacturerrsquosweight limit for towed loads For conventionaltrailers this normally includes a hitch-weightlimit as well for fifth-wheels the pin weight isapplied to the truckrsquos gvwr and its rear-axle gawr

Trailer and Tow Rig MatchupThe gvwr and gawr for all motor vehicles are

listed on the data plate typically affixed to thedriverrsquos door frame fuel door glove box end ofthe dashboard or other easy-to-access locationBrochures and window stickers may be inaccu-rate All trailers should have a weight sticker mdashnormally found in an interior cabinet mdash that liststhe trailerrsquos Unloaded Vehicle Weight (uvw) gvwrweight added by freshwater and LP-gas and theresulting cargo carrying capacity

In many cases optional equipment mdash such asair-conditioning units generators and the fuelthey run on mdash sneaks onboard after weighingand may not be reflected on the sticker And donrsquotforget the fuel-fill tanks that some SURVs offer forcampsite refueling of motorcycles and ATVs

Recently enacted Recreational Vehicle Industry

Association (RVIA) weight label requirements aremore inclusive of dealer-added options and makeit easier for buyers to have access to more accu-rate weight figures

The gvwr figures are neither guidelines norestimates they are limits and there are numer-ous valid reasons the manufacturer arrived at thefigures given If you think these figures are ldquocloseenoughrdquo or have a fudge-factor percentage builtin think again Your warranty coverage andyour safety may be at risk

The only sure-fire way to find out what yourtrailer weighs is to load it as usual for a trip rightdown to the towels and trinkets and weigh it ata public scale Without forming a long queue ofcommercial trucks waiting their turns at thescale get the hitch weight axle weight and totalweight Assuming that the axle weight is belowthe gawr the total is below the gvwr and thehitch weight is below the maximum given foryour tow vehicle you can then move on to tow-vehicle selection

For a new trailer consult the weight sticker onthe unit of your choice on a dealerrsquos lot and referto the uvw and cargo carrying capacity (ccc)

Estimate how much cargo you will add beingmindful of the gvwr and use that number whileselecting a tow vehicle

To a lesser extent tow-vehicle weight is vari-able as well Brochures and tow guides frequent-ly list how much a truck weighs but this numbergenerally applies to the most basic model in that

Choosing the proper axle ratio is vital to performance and fuel economy The axle ratio indicates theproportion between the pinion-shaft and ring-gear revolutions




configuration without any options In somecases distinctions are made by engine transmis-sion drive system (2WD or 4WDAWD) and inother cases by cab or bed styles If the dealerdoes not have a vehicle equipped as you wantthat is available to weigh or cannot provide op-tion weights you can form rough estimates mdashbut exact figures are the only way to be certain

Bigger engines add weight diesels more sobecause they come with additional accessories(700 pounds more than the standard gas engineis common) Add up to 175 pounds for an op-tional transmission about 400 pounds for 4WDand a bit less than 300 pounds for longer bedsThen add other options like luxury-trim levels asall those electric motors add up The towingpackage and hitch could add another 100pounds and larger wheels and tires can alsohave an effect

Following is how to calculate the realistic tow-ing capacity of the vehicle that interests you

For example consider a fictional one-tonlongbed diesel extended-cab 2WD single-rear-wheel pickup set up for towing Wersquoll arbitrarilyassign it a gvwr of 9900 pounds a front gawr of

5000 pounds a rear gawr of 6824 pounds agcwr of 23000 pounds and a quoted maximumtow rating of 17000 pounds

As is often the case in single-rear-wheel trucksthe rear axlersquos gawr on this truck is derived fromeach tirersquos maximum load of 3412 pounds Pick-ups such as this normally start at more than 6000pounds and with a diesel automatic and nicetrim figure that with a full tank of fuel and hitchthis unit weighs 7000 pounds If we add twoldquostandard-sizerdquo people (154 pounds each) a fewtools and some cargo it weighs 7500 poundsThat is split to 4000 pounds on the front axleand 3500 pounds on the rear axle

The first thing you should have noticed is thatthe maximum tow rating cannot apply with thetruck fully loaded because gcwr (23000) minusgvwr (9900) leaves 13100 pounds mdash abouttwo tons less than quoted towing ability Afteradding options and people to the example truckand subtracting that value (7500) from gcwr(23000) the effective working tow rating of thetruck becomes 15500 pounds about 1500pounds less than the truckrsquos quoted maximumtowing rating





However you have yet to check all the num-bers and verify that a 15500-pound trailer willwork If that trailer is a fifth-wheel and has 20percent of its weight on the pin that adds 3100pounds to the back of the truck This wouldmake the truck overweight mdash its 7500-poundready-to-roll weight plus the 3100 pounds onthe pin equals 10600 pounds mdash 700 poundsmore than the truckrsquos gvwr and just 224 poundsshy of the rear-axle limit of 6824 pounds

SUVs and other non-pickup tow rigs cannotescape scrutiny The vehiclersquos loaded weightwith the anticipated load of passengers aboardmust be subtracted from the gcwr to determinethe realistic tow rating

Other Factors to ConsiderThe tow-ratings chart lists vehicle-towing maxi-

mums segregated by engine cab style drive andsingle- or dual-rear wheels as appropriate In gen-eral assume the maximum tow rating always re-quires a towing package mdash and special towingequipment (see ldquoAnatomy of a Towing Packagerdquoon page 40) mdash and the highest numerical axleratio offered and as the example shows maxi-mums can be confusing You can do your own es-timates by starting with the information given andkeeping the following generalizations in mind

Transmission For the majority of vehiclesautomatic transmissions offer the higher tow rat-ings when they vary by transmission On heavy-duty (HD) models the difference may be 1000pounds or less and on lighter-duty vehicles amanual tranny might rate a 2000-pound lowertow rating Exceptions include high-output en-gines that are available only with manual gear-boxes vehicles where the manual transmissionweighs more than the automatic and transmis-sions in vehicles designed for high performanceand not towing

Axle Ratio Lower gearing (the numericallyhigher ratios eg 4101 4561 as opposed to3551 3731) typically produces greater towratings because of greater torque multiplicationThere is a wide variance in the axle ratiorsquos effecton the tow rating with some diesel-poweredpickups varying only a few hundred pounds Onothers changing from a 3731 to a 4301 some-times increases the tow rating by 3500 poundsIn the past some ratings have increased by a fac-tor greater than three (from 2000 to 7100pounds) simply by using a different axle ratioLower gearing will also make your vehicle acceler-ate quicker up to 50-55 mph In general a one-step drop in axle ratio (4101 to 3731) on an HDpickup will drop tow rating and gcwr by a ton

Lower gearing has an adverse effect on fuel

economy but itrsquos usually not proportional to thegain in towing ability Under the best circum-stances the difference between the highest andlowest gear ratios offered (say 3421 and4101) results in a 15-mpg decrease in non-towing steady state-highway cruising In mostconditions that change is less than 1 mpg and ifyou tow a relatively heavy trailer a lot therersquos noquestion that the lowest gearing is best

Drive System Vehicles that drive only twowheels be they front or rear generally havehigher tow ratings (all other things being equal)Even though modern 4WD and AWD systems arequite efficient a small amount of parasitic lossuses up energy More importantly 4WD systemsadd weight mdash easily up to 400 pounds on someHD pickups mdash and that weight frequently comesoff the tow rating Unless the gcwr and gvwr arehigher a 4WD version will probably tow a fewhundred pounds less than its 2WD counterpart

Towing Package If you can order a towingpackage do so Not only is it usually required toget the top tow rating but the contents rarelycan be duplicated for the original cost mdash and itwill add to resale value Frequently you can seethe hitch or tow plug but there are oftenchanges to the wiring system (including up-ratedwire and fuses) alternator battery cooling sys-tem power steering and lubricants

Bed LengthStyle If therersquos a difference alongbed truck may rate slightly lower in tow ca-pacity mdash perhaps 150-250 pounds mdash becausethe longer bed adds weight On other casesthere is no change because the longer wheelbaseis beneficial Note that the more ldquostyledrdquo bedsmarketed under a variety of names typically areheavier than conventional slab-sided beds andthat cab-and-chassis figures do not reflect anybed unless otherwise noted A steel bed for amedium-duty cab-and-chassis could quickly eatup an entire ton of its gcwr




Single or Dual Rear Wheels Most people as-sume that a dually pickup will have a higher towrating than a single-rear wheel unit but this is notalways so In many cases the gcwr is limited by fac-tors other than the number of rear wheels anddoes not change and in those cases the weight ofthe wider axle bigger brakes and two more tiresand wheels is subtracted from the gcwr The dual-ly no doubt provides a more stable towing plat-form for the heavier trailers although not alwayswith the highest tow rating A dualie will have ahigher gvwr because the dual-wheel rear axlemight have a 10000-pound gawr for examplecompared to the single-rear-wheel truckrsquos 6824-pound gawr Gawr is not always an exact calcula-tion of the tire capacity times the number of tiresA dualie-equipped truck will be better for haulinga heavy slide-in truck camper because of theweight concentrated on the rear axle as comparedto the average trailerrsquos hitch weight

Tires Wheel sizes continue to grow commen-surate with their popularity with some tow vehi-cles offering 20-inch-diameter wheels as factoryoptions However using a larger wheel and lower-profile tire means a smaller air cushion and lower

tire sidewall to the extent that tow ratings general-ly drop whenever the wheel size increases Be sureto read the fine print on the packaging carefully

Practical ApplicationBefore purchasing any vehicle for towing en-

sure that the equipment required is available foryour vehicle You may find that the new-kid-on-the-block is a very capable tow vehicle but noone makes a fifth-wheel hitch for it Also bewareof hitch-ball and receiver ratings as some trucksare rated for heavier loads than any easily foundhardware can handle and therefore may requirespecial-order parts Also keep in mind that thepowertrains used in some vehicles may not beavailable in each of the 50 states or Canada

Before making a purchase of a new vehiclewe also suggest that you acquire the manufac-turerrsquos comprehensive towing guide availableonline or at dealerships Be sure to read the fineprint in the guide because in many cases themaximum rating may apply only to one particularversion and be for a fifth-wheel trailer manylarger pickups may have their actual tow ratinglimited by the hitch and hardware q

New models styling and drivetrains improvetowing prowess comfort and fuel economy

BY CHRIS HEMER





With the fluctuation of fuel prices youcan probably guess the commontheme among the crop of 2009 tow

vehicles enhanced fuel economy While itrsquos truethat the Big Three can take years to introduce en-tirely new vehicles they have demonstrated theirability to make adjustments to current productsin just months to meet market demands In thiscase wersquore seeing everything from taller rear-axle ratios and new transmissions to aerodynam-ic improvements and even more hybrid modelsBut unlike Detroitrsquos mad rush to introduce fuel-sipping econo-cars during the 1970s these re-vised tow vehicles donrsquot sacrifice huge chunks ofperformance in exchange for their fuel-efficientways Engineers realize that heavy-duty vehicleslike trucks and SUVs still must have adequatetow ratings After all thatrsquos one of the main rea-sons we buy them

When shopping for a new tow vehicle how-ever keep in mind that tow ratings can vary sig-nificantly on two identically equipped modelswith different rear-axle-ratio ratings (dependingon whether the buyerrsquos priority is fuel economyor maximum towing capability) So be sure toverify the rear-axle ratio before signing on thedotted line

Ford Motor CompanyA redesign of the popular F-150 pickup helps

set it apart from the rest of the full-size truckmarket Perhaps the most noteworthy highlightis the fully integrated brake control with TrailerSway Control (TSC) mdash a first for the F-150 mdashwhich synchronizes vehicle and trailer brakes forseamless braking (even with the heaviest loads)to provide added driving control and confidenceThis high-tech braking system utilizes a yaw sen-sor to determine if the vehicle is swaying andthen takes the appropriate countermeasuresThese may include applying the brakes to one ormore wheels andor reducing engine power tobring the vehicle back under control The popularFord Explorer and Sport Trac both receive stan-dard TSC as well

How to Use This Guide

Under each vehicle brand you will findthree headings Vehicle Engine and TowLimit (lb) The vehicle heading describes

the vehicle model andor configuration and indi-cates whether the vehicle is 2WD (front or rear)4WD or All Wheel Drive (AWD) The engineheading shows the engine size expressed inliters followed by the configuration (I = InlineV = V engine as in V-6 or V-8) and the number ofcylinders Under tow limit you will find the man-ufacturerrsquos stated maximum tow capacity for thatvehicle In many instances you may note a let-ter(s) andor symbol(s) after the model or towrating which indicates a footnote listing specificrequirements for that rating such as a certaingear ratio When letters or symbols are separatedby a comma this indicates that more than onefootnote applies when separated by a forwardslash () eitheror can apply

A slash may also be used to separate two dif-ferent models if the ratings differ depending onhow the vehicle is equipped In these instancesratings relative to the model or its equipment willbe listed in respective order under the tow limitheading Example

Vehicle Engine Tow Limit (lb)

TrailblazerEnvoy 2WD 42L I-6 54005300(e)

Moreover the ratings are listed in a similar man-ner to the manufacturers For example Ford MotorCompany lists conventional and fifth-wheel towratings separately while Dodge GM and Toyota listthem together Likewise Ford lists automatic andmanual-transmission-equipped models under sep-arate headings while other manufacturers list

them under the same headings with a separatecolumn that denotes transmission type

Footnotes are listed immediately under eachbrand or vehicle family and consist of variouskeys for gear ratios as well as abbreviations for ve-hicle configurations (LB = Longbed CC= CrewCab etc) notes about how different trim levelsor options may affect towing capacity etc Ifthere is no footnote then there is only one vehi-cle configuration capable of towing that amount

Wersquove also included pertinent factory noteswhere applicable about each vehicle or family ofvehicles but due to space considerations wecannot possibly list all of them When consider-ing a certain vehicle for purchase based on itstow rating make sure to consult with the dealerandor manufacturerrsquos towing guide to getspecifics on what that tow rating is based uponFor example many tow ratings are based on anunloaded vehicle with one occupant if you nor-mally travel with your family and equipment youmust deduct passengerequipment weight ac-cordingly to arrive at that vehiclersquos actual towingcapacity in your application Most trailer weightsare based on the assumption that you will beusing a weight-distributing hitch (and rightfullyso) and have drastically reduced ratings for thesame application using a weight-carrying hitch

Finally remember that every effort has beenmade to ensure the accuracy of this guide butmany of the ratings contained in it were consid-ered ldquopreliminaryrdquo by the manufacturer at thetime of this writing (which is before ldquoofficialrdquoratings have been released in many cases) Mostof the time the numbers donrsquot change when theofficial ratings are released but in some in-stances they do Perhaps more importantly theratings donrsquot usually change significantly enoughto affect your purchase decision q

Hitching UpSelecting and maintaining the proper hardware

are key to a pleasant towing experience

BY JOEL DONALDSON

The process of buying a new travel trailer orfifth-wheel like buying an automobile orsome other complex big-ticket item is full

of choices What is supposed to be an enjoyableexperience is filled with such tasks as negotiatinga price arranging financing settling on a fairtrade-in value for your old rig and choosing in-surance floorplans deacutecor schemes and optionalequipment However one of the most importantchoices may be considered an afterthoughtnamely choosing the proper trailer hitch

Fortunately selecting the right hitch isnrsquot diffi-cult nor is its installation mdash after locating a com-petent hitch shop that is Maintaining properadjustment of the hitch on an ongoing basis isthe real challenge and it has a large bearing onthe safety and enjoyment of trailer towing

Trailers are available in two different designsmdash a travel trailer thatrsquos coupled to the rear of thetow vehicle by a conventional hitch ball and afifth-wheel trailer that utilizes a fifth-wheel (orgooseneck) hitch mounted in the truck bed cen-

tered over the rear axle The hitching methods areas different as the trailers and require specificknowledge by the installer and trailer owner

Conventional HitchesAll hitches are rated by their respective manu-

facturers to safely handle up to a specific grossvehicle weight rating (gvwr) which is the weightof the trailer with full water and LP-gas cylindersmdash and all supplies aboard Several weight classesexist for hitches designed for towing convention-al travel trailers

Weight-carrying hitches are intended forlighter trailers because the entire trailerrsquos hitchweight is carried on the ball and transferred tothe rear axle of the tow vehicle whereas load-distributing hitches are designed to distribute thetrailerrsquos hitch weight to all axles of the tow vehi-cle and trailer making larger heavier trailers withconsiderably higher hitch weights towable with-out destabilizing the tow vehicle

will have a minimum hitch weight of about 10percent of the gross weight and the maximumcan range upward to 15 percent mdash providing itdoes not violate the rating of the hitch

Except for the lightest folding trailers hitches

rated Class II and higher are used for recreationaltowing and they use a receiver bolted to the towvehiclersquos frame The hitch receiver mdash which mayhave box dimensions of 11frasl4 inches square 2 inchessquare or 21frasl2 inches square with larger boxes forhigher load ratings mdash accepts a slide-in ball mount(or draw bar) which is secured with a pin

Besides serving as the trailerreceiver attach-ment point the ball mount also is used in varyingheights (known as ldquodroprdquo) to couple the trailerin a level fashion (frame parallel to the road sur-face) which is desirable for best stability andtrailer-brake performance Some ball mounts arefixed while others are adjustable

Ball mounts used for weight-carrying hitchesare quite different than those used for load dis-tributing Need for weight-distributing hitches

varies with tow-vehicle type and trailer weight Atrailer with 350 pounds of hitch weight maypresent no challenge for a stiffly sprung long-wheelbase 3frasl4-ton pickup while it may destabilizea softly sprung compact SUV In general aweight-distributing hitch will improve stability inmost situations because weight resting on ahitch ball (when a weight-carrying hitch is used)loads the rear axle excessively by placing all ofthe hitch weight on that axle in addition toweight that is transferred from the front axle tothe rear in a see-saw lever action

Because many receivers are usable in eitherweight-carrying or weight-distributing configu-rations mdash depending on the ball mount mdash thereceiverrsquos manufacturer may list both ratings

Weight-distributing hitches should be used inmany weight situations of Class II and in most sit-uations of Class III and above Unlike their weight-carrying counterparts these hitches typically usea much heavier ball mount (thatrsquos adjustable inheight) plus a pair of spring bars that provide theleverage needed to distribute weight fore and aft

Adjusting the HitchAfter having a load-distributing hitch of prop-

er weight rating installed owners may take therest for granted which can be a costly error be-cause an improperly adjusted load-distributinghitch can contribute to trailer sway which is avery undesirable handling trait For more detailedinformation about weight-distributing hitchessee the article ldquoTending with Barsrdquo in the Febru-ary 2008 issue of Trailer Life

The keys to happy towing are proper ballheight and proper load (tension) on the springbars When all aspects are correct the tow vehi-cle and the trailer are at proper ride heightwhich in most cases is level One exception willbe described later Proper hitch adjustment helpsprevent rear-axle overloading and improves brak-ing and steering response

Evaluating the proper adjustment of a load-dis-tributing hitch is relatively simple The tow vehicleshould maintain the same attitude before hitchingthat it does after hitching measured at referencepoints at the front and rear bumpers If it is levelbefore hitching it should be level afterward al-though slightly lower due to the addition of hitchweight Level attitude means adequate load isplaced on the spring bars to distribute portions ofthe hitch weight equally to the front and rearaxles If the rear of the tow vehicle sags after hitch-ing then the spring-bar loading isnrsquot adequate

The exception to level attitude If the tow ve-hicle is a stiffly sprung pickup and the rear of thetruck is higher than the front that attitudeshould be maintained after hitching Such trucksoften will carry heavy loads without the need forweight-distributing hitches and without saggingBut care must be exercised here Although thetruck may not look like itrsquos sagging visually thehitch weight carried by the rear axle may still cre-ate an unstable situation

If the trailer is not level after spring bars havebeen adjusted to create the proper tow-vehicleattitude the ball height should be corrected

Trailer sway can be a problem if trailer balanceor hitch adjustment are not correct because thetrailer has steering leverage on the tow vehicle byvirtue of being connected to the tow vehicle 3 or4 feet behind the rear axle With correct hitchingtrailer balance may be a problem if the hitchweight is less than 10 percent of gross weight Itshould be more than 10 percent (we recommenda minimum of 11 percent) for best stability

Even with a well-balanced trailer and a proper-ly adjusted hitch use of a sway-control device ishighly recommended Often called sway bars (notto be confused with anti-roll bars fitted to axles oftow vehicles) sway-control devices are designedto damp rotation of the coupler on the hitch ballThey improve the handling characteristics of thetrailertow vehicle combination whether the hitch

PullRite 70-Degree hitch Draw-Tite W-D hitch





method is weight-carrying or weight-distributingSway-control devices are available in two dif-

ferent configurations the most popular of whichis one that employs a steel bar attached to theball mount that is encased in a rail or tube at-tached to the trailer A-frame Inside the rail ortube is friction material that is clamped againstthe steel bar Any pivoting of the trailer coupleron the bar causes the bar to slide within the railcreating drag and damping sway On larger trail-ers itrsquos often possible to use a pair of friction-type units for additional sway control

One popular hitch the Equal-i-zer includes afriction feature in the hitch design in that the tipsof spring bars create friction on trailer-framebrackets Cam-type sway units work by modify-ing the operation of the spring bars on a weight-distributing hitch As the trailer turns a cam in-creases the tension on one of the bars creating aforce that tends to pull the trailer back into astraight line The harder the trailer turns thestronger this self-centering force becomes Sincethis scheme relies on spring-bar tension itrsquos gen-erally most effective on trailers with relativelyhigh hitch weights (eg trailers requiring consid-erable spring-bar tension)

The Hensley Arrow and Pulliam EnterprisesrsquoPullRite hitch systems offer different approachesto controlling sway

The Hensley unit prevents sway through useof trapezoidal hitch linkages that make the towvehicle and trailer act as a single unit with nopivoting of the coupler on the ball unless the towvehicle turns Thus during typical highway travelthe tow vehicle and trailer are connected as non-articulated vehicles and tend to function as asingle unit Even so there is no restriction on thetow vehiclersquos capability for turns

The PullRite in effect moves the hitch pivotpoint to a location immediately aft of the tow ve-hiclersquos rear axle dramatically reducing the lever-age the trailer can exert on the tow vehicle

Fifth-Wheel HitchesFifth-wheel towing is a different story alto-

gether The trailerrsquos kingpin serves as the pivotpoint for the fifth-wheel hitch which is centeredslightly ahead or above the truckrsquos rear axle Thetrailerrsquos kingpin slides into the hitch head whereit is secured by latching jaws or some othermechanism This head is attached to a supportbase which transfers the towing forces to thetruck frame

The design prevents the trailer from havingany steering effect on the tow vehicle and iswhat gives fifth-wheel trailers such good roadmanners Wind gusts and road irregularities havelittle to no effect on tow-vehicle stability

Most hitches are secured to the bed with apair of mounting rails while other underbed sys-tems leave the truck bed flat after the hitch is re-moved Most removable systems use perma-nently mounted rails with pins to secure thehitch head The underbed style of fifth-wheel-hitch mount is completely different in that theentire hitch mechanism is removed by simplypulling a lever in the wheel well PullRite alsouses an underbed system with removable con-nection pins Some systems where the hitchsaddle and support base can be removed sepa-rately make it easier on the back when liftingthe hardware

Many fifth-wheel heads are mounted so theytilt fore and aft however having only the fore-and-aft pivot restricts side-to-side movement

Some hitches have heads that pivot in multi-ple directions allowing the pinbox to move in

any direction with respect to the pickup whilestill maintaining a tight mechanical connectionThis also makes it easier to hitch or unhitch thetrailer on uneven ground

Another strategy for improving trailer-truckflexibility involves the use of air springs as part ofthe hitch design Typically the hitch is suspend-ed on multiple bladder-type air bags which sup-port most of the trailerrsquos kingpin weight Asidefrom providing considerable articulation thesebags are also capable of smoothing out much ofthe road shocks and vibration that would other-wise be transmitted from the trailer to the towvehicle Adjustments to the system can be ac-complished by varying the amount of air pres-sure in the bags

Other air-suspension hitches use a hingedpivot arm and a single airbag setup to providetruck-to-trailer impact damping while the hitchhead mechanism provides the side- and forafthead tilting

Shortbed pickups are now more popular thanever particularly among extended-cab modelsHowever a short bed often causes complicationswhen using the truck for towing a fifth-wheelbecause the proper hitch-mounting location isfar enough forward to cause trailer-to-cab colli-sions during sharp turns Installing an extendedpinbox provides a workable solution with smallertrailers with modest pin weights however own-ers should first check with the pinbox manufac-turer before adding any extension

For larger units one solution is a conventionalhitch that can be manually unlocked and movedaft on a special set of rails before making tightturns PullRite offers a hitch that performs thismotion automatically returning to the forward-towing position after the turn is completedRearward travel can be as much as 22 inches forsome models which is generally adequate for

accommodating 102-inch-wide trailers Turns astight as 90 degrees are possible in some cases

Maximum weight ratings for fifth-wheelhitches range up to 25500 pounds gross weightwith as much as 25 percent of it on the hitch(most fivers have 20 percent hitch weight orless) and itrsquos best to choose a unit that not onlywill handle the trailer it will be used to tow butalso any possibility of a larger trailer although ahigher-rated hitch will cost more and will beslightly heavier

Whether while towing a conventional traileror a fifth-wheel the use of a properly rated hitchadjusted correctly will ensure a safe and pleasanttowing experience q

A Hitch For All Reasons

Whether yoursquore towing a travel trailer or a fifth-wheel Hensley Manufacturing offers a variety ofhitches designed to smooth out the ride

The Hensley Arrow (for travel trailers between 5000 and14000 pounds) and new Hensley Cub (for travel trailers be-tween 2000 and 6000 pounds) are hitchsway-control de-vices that permanently mount to your travel trailerrsquos A-frame eliminating the need for lifting and storing heavycomponents These hitches are designed to allow the trailer totrack behind the tow vehicle safely by utilizng a unique linkagesystem The linkage system also creates the effect of movingthe hitch point closer to the rear axle so the tow vehiclersquossteering input doesnrsquot exaggerate the trailerrsquos lateral move-ment mdash resuting in increased stability (no sway) while towing

For fifth-wheels Hensleyrsquos TrailerSaver hitches are de-signed to eliminate both updown and foreaft shock in thehitch pin truck and trailer

Among the many models offered by Hensley the newBD3 Air-Ride hitch fits into standard slotted fiver rails and isdesigned for easy installation and removal from the truckbed The BD3 breaks down into two separate pieces (seepage 35) to make lifting and storage a snap Also new is theTS3 which is based on Hensleyrsquos popular TSLB hitch The TS3fits into standard slotted hitch rails and has been specificallydesigned for 3frasl4 to 1-ton trucks The TS3 features an operat-ing height of 14 inches and can handle fivers with a pinweight up to 4500 pounds and an overall weight of up to20000 pounds

Electric-brake systems have been employedfor several decades on most trailers thathave any significant weight Each trailer with

electric brakes in turn also requires that the towvehicle be fitted with a brake controller

For years brake-controller choices have beenextensive mdash all aftermarket and all electronic mdashbut Ford changed the game in 2005 with the firsttrailer-brake-control (TBC) system included as anintegral part of the design of the tow vehiclersquos de-sign Ford continues to up the ante as the TBC isnow included in the F-150 making the popularpickup the first in its class to have an integratedbrake control As always the TBC synchronizesvehicle and trailer brakes for seamless braking(even under heavy load) to provide added drivingcontrol and confidence GM has followed suitnow offering a built-in control on select vehicles

Until the advent of anti-lock brake systems(ABS) most brake controllers were tapped direct-ly into the hydraulic lines of the tow vehiclersquos on-board hydraulic-braking system They were oftendescribed as hydraulicelectric brake controllersas they converted hydraulic pressure in the tow

vehiclersquos brake system to an electric signal used toactivate the trailerrsquos brakes directly proportional tohydraulic pressure in the vehiclersquos braking system

A significant factor in elimination of this systemwas the advent of ABS because vehicle manufac-turersrsquo cautioned against tapping into the hydraulicsystem The controllers displaced a small amountof brake fluid and with ABS systems brake-cylin-der volume was more limited so manufacturerswarned not to add controllers that displaced morethan 002 cubic inches The tap-in could not occurdownstream of the ABS mechanism so the pres-sure was on to devise alternate systems

Electronics were the answer and many differenttypes of aftermarket brake controllers were devel-oped mdash none tied in with the tow vehiclersquos hy-draulic system however Even in the old days of hy-draulicelectric controllers all were sold in the after-market until Ford became the first to offer a trailer-brake actuation system installed at the factory

The system cannot be retrofitted to earlier Fordmodels and aftermarket controllers still must beused for most other vehicles so the demand forthose aftermarket controllers remains quite largeAccordingly itrsquos helpful to understand whatrsquos outthere and how to make a good choice

In essence all electronic brake controllers fallinto two general categories timer-based brakecontrollers and inertia-based proportional brakecontrollers All brake controllers generate an out-put signal to a trailer-brake system when a userfirst touches the tow vehiclersquos brake pedal or acti-vates the brake controllerrsquos manual control mdash ifso equipped What happens next varies greatlydepending on whether yoursquore using a timer-based or proportional brake controller

While most manufacturers will identify theirproportional brake controllers as such you usu-ally wonrsquot see the words ldquotimer-basedrdquo in theliterature for a nonproportional brake controllerInstead marketers will sometimes advertisetimer-based controllers as having the advantageof requiring no leveling but even that idea isconfusing Several proportional brake con-trollers do not require leveling Timer-based con-trollers are also touted as being microprocessor-operated but all brake controllers contain aprocessor of some kind Even the most sophisti-cated timer-based microprocessor doesnrsquot deter-

mine how hard you are braking only how longyoursquove been braking A good rule of thumb isthat if it doesnrsquot say the word ldquoproportionalrdquosomewhere in the literature itrsquos probably a timer-based brake controller

Timer-Based vs ProportionalA timer-based brake controller has a timer that

generates an output signal for your RVrsquos brakesthat increases with the amount of time you keepyour foot on the brake pedal It doesnrsquot knowwhether yoursquore braking gently on a gradualdownhill grade or if yoursquore in a panic stop Therate of increase in output (the slope of the voltageramp) has no bearing on pedal effort but canusually be adjusted for braking aggressiveness

An inertia-based proportional controller gen-erates an output that is as the name suggests di-rectly proportional to your braking needs Mostproportional brake controllers measure the towvehiclersquos rate of deceleration by means of a pen-dulum The quicker you slow the farther the pen-dulum is displaced via inertia from its at-rest po-sition This creates an electric signal to your trail-errsquos brakes that is proportional to your decelera-tion rate

Tekonsha and its sister companies use a seriesof LEDs and photoelectric detectors in their pro-portional controllers to determine the position ofthe displaced pendulum and therefore determinethe deceleration rate Hayes-Lemmerz uses theHall effect a physics principal involving movingmagnets to determine the pendulumrsquos position

All pendulum controllers are subject to someinaccuracies as the pendulum can tilt slightly for-ward or backward on steep grades Most such con-trollers employ a damping device to stabilize the




sensor against vibrations and the damper helps re-duce the effect of the fore-or-aft-tilt problem

The pendulumrsquos position is adjusted throughthe level-control knob which allows the pendu-lum to be oriented to a true vertical resting posi-tion to compensate for the angle of the brake-controller body (the ldquolevelingrdquo referred to insome timer-based-controller advertising) Thelevel adjustment also allows the driver to pitchthe pendulum slightly forward or aft of its nor-mal resting position to set up the trailer so itsbraking is aggressive or delayed

Most drivers prefer some braking effect fromthe trailerrsquos brakes on the initial touch of thebrake pedal and adjust the brake controller ac-cordingly to provide this so-called threshold volt-age This adjustment produces some output (typ-ically 2 volts) without the initial time period hav-ing passed or deceleration having occurred in thetwo electric brake-controller types This time pe-riod or deceleration event is normally needed toactivate the timer-based controller or the propor-tional pendulum-based controller respectively

With dozens of different models of brakecontrollers on the market many RVers may findthe selection of the right controller difficult with-out some form of guidance While budgetaryconsiderations may force a user into one catego-ry of controller this is a critical system wherepinching pennies may not be advisable

When faced with the need for a panic stopmost drivers want a controller that will respondin proportion to their braking needs at that mo-ment Keep in mind that a timer-based controllercanrsquot respond in this manner as its output is fixedfor a certain timed duration

Among more recent developments acceler-ometers are being used to measure brakingforce Tekonsha has embraced this technology inits Prodigy brake control and US Gear uses it inthe companyrsquos system intended for vehiclestowed behind motorhomes Hensley Manufac-turing also uses accelerometers in its high-techTruControl trailer brake control

Getting WiredCritical to every successful brake-controller in-

stallation is the proper tow-vehicle wiring Whileyou should carefully follow the manufacturerrsquosrecommendations there are certain common el-ements to almost every controller

A reliable power source is a priority whichmay include a vehicle manufacturerrsquos built-in cir-cuitry for an aftermarket brake controller Themain power line should be at least a 10 AWGwire from a circuit breaker at the fuse box or thebattery to the brake controllerrsquos power-inputconnection (follow specific instructions for yourcontroller) The circuit should continue from thecontroller without any splices and terminate atthe seven-pin connector found at the rear ofyour tow vehicle Most manufacturers adviseagainst grounding the controller to the vehiclersquosfirewall but recommend routing a 10 AWG (orlarger) separate ground wire directly to the bat-tery the controller may not function properly ifthe ground connection is not made directly tothe battery terminal

The other connection is made to the brakelightcircuit downstream of the brakelight switchmounted to the brake-pedal assembly so the con-troller senses when the brakes have been activated

Later-model vehicles with towing packageshave brake-control wiring bundled under the dashwith a plug-in connector attached A pigtail withthe mating part of the connector is supplied withthe vehicle and is ready for connection to thebrake-control wiring This setup avoids most of thecomplexity and possible mistakes with locating thecorrect wiring among that maze under the dash

Todayrsquos RVer has many choices in brake con-trollers from many manufacturers Itrsquos importantto carefully select the controller that is right foryour needs and capable of handling the weightand number of axles on your trailer

Be sure to follow the manufacturerrsquos writteninstructions about every aspect of the brake con-trollerrsquos installation operation adjustment andmaintenance for optimal performance q

There are many bells and whistles availablewhen choosing a new tow vehicle buttherersquos one option that is an absolute

necessity The towing packageThere are several good reasons for choosing

factory-installed towing hardware You have fullwarranty coverage on the equipment It was de-signed by the best engineering minds at a majorauto manufacturer which is reassuring whenconsidering the hardware is tying your truck andtrailer safely together Yoursquoll probably savemoney over the cost of aftermarket hardwareAnd perhaps best of all use of the factory op-tions means being ready for the road is a turnkeyoperation that calls for few or no trips to special-ty shops after leaving the dealership

In many cases you donrsquot have a choice If thevehicle is to be rated for its highest towing ca-pacity the towing-package option is mandatoryto give the tow vehicle its optimum performance

Whatrsquos in a Towing PackageOverall packages vary by model but

here are some components that may beincluded

potential For less-strenuous duty the towingpackage is optional

Check the dealer literature to determine thecontent of the towing-package option The fol-lowing are some of the items you will likely en-counter

Axle Ratio Most packages include a lower(numerically higher) axle ratio for example a3731 or 4101 instead of the 3551 thatcomes with the stock vehicle A lower ratio re-sults in greater torque multiplication at the rearwheels which means more power for towing Italso means the engine turns somewhat faster fora given road speed but thatrsquos the tradeoff for im-proved towing performance

Hitch Receiver If the tow vehicle already hasa receiver all you need to select is the proper ballmount and the associated hardware such as aload-distributing hitch The receiver will be prop-erly matched to the tow vehiclersquos trailer-towingrating so you neednrsquot worry about any hitch-overloading situations mdash as long as you pay at-tention to the numbers Yoursquoll also avoid interfer-ence problems with the exhaust pipe(s) the fueltank and the spare tire

Wiring Package The wiring package is a groupof color-coded pigtails near the back bumper thatrsquosready for installation of the trailer-plug receptacle Itcan be as complete as a plug or two installed outback or a pre-wired pigtail for brake-control in-stallation under the dash and full integrationwith the tow tow vehiclersquos electric system

Alternator It takes extra charging current tokeep a trailerrsquos battery(ies) charged in addition tohandling the electrical-power needs of the towvehicle The battery itself may also be larger

Heavy-Duty Suspension The trailer and itshitch weight add load on the tow-vehicle sus-pension so the normal reaction among dealer-ship sales staff and buyers alike is to order theoptional heavy-duty (HD) suspension particularlywhen fifth-wheel towing is involved In factwhen the trailer is a conventional ball-type traileritrsquos often best not to order a heavy-spring optionif there is a choice (if the towing package doesnot include HD suspension) for trucks rated8600 pounds and above because stiff ride andthe tendency of the rear springs to do some ormost of the work of the load-distributing hitchcan be the result A stiff ride is a very commoncomplaint among owners of 3frasl4-ton and one-tonpickups not towing fifth-wheels

A case can be made for not ordering an HD sus-pension even for fifth-wheel towing mdash except invery high pin-weight situations mdash opting insteadto install auxiliary springs or air bags after deliveryto support the pin weight (if necessary) which al-lows a more civilized ride on standard rear springswhile not towing Itrsquos necessary to compare thestandard and optional rear-axle-weight ratings rel-ative to the anticipated trailer pin weight Itrsquos easyto upgrade rear suspensions after a truck is builtbut nearly impossible to soften the ride of an over-sprung truck without replacing the suspension




Fordrsquos folding mirrors require less space than conventional mirrors when folded and offer a clearview of the side of the trailer when theyrsquore extended for towing

SUVs have enough of their body weight on therear axle so thatrsquos generally not an issue

Brake Control Fordrsquos Super Duty was theoriginal tow rig to offer a factory-installed brakecontroller and GM followed suit the followingyear Otherwise towing packages usually includea trailer-wiring harness with a circuit for an after-market brake-control unit mdash a very worthwhilecomponent of the package

Stability Control More manufacturers arenow offering electronic stability control

Mirrors Many towing packages offer mirrors

designed to be extended outward while towingtrailers

Extra Cooling The largest possible radiatora larger transmission-oil cooler and often apower-steering-fluid cooler are essential parts ofthe usual HD cooling component of a towingpackage and we advise that no tow vehicleshould be ordered without them

These components will not only help the towvehicle avoid overheating any vital functionalparts but they will also lead to longer trouble-free component service life q





Towing TipsPlenty of practice and defensive driving skills

lead to safe and enjoyable towing

BY BRAD CLAYTON

Towing a trailer is certainly not brain surgerybut it does represent a step up in complexi-ty from driving a solo vehicle requiring new

awareness of combined vehicle length trailerwidth braking distance turning characteristicsand several other vital factors that must be con-sidered while towing a trailer

Most of us drive trucks SUVs or passengercars daily and graduate to RVs only occasionallyThus itrsquos always necessary to make a mentaltransition and try to keep the size and handlingcharacteristics of the larger rig in mind

Allowing solo-vehicle habits to take over mayresult in a tendency to make turns too tightly runover curbs hit stationary objects such as over-hanging tree limbs or to follow too closely

Be AwareThe first towing precautions are those that

precede towing mdash matching the tow vehicle andtrailer correctly adhering to weight limits andmaking sure hitch selection and adjustment arecorrect as described elsewhere in this guideAnd itrsquos also important to refresh defensive driv-ing skills From there the real fun begins

The combined length of tow vehicle and trail-er as well as the combined weight must be inthe forefront of your mind right from the startMaintaining extended following distances is oneof the most important towing-related drivinghabits that initially is difficult to adhere to be-cause we tend to fall into our typical drivinghabits

044-TL0901 TG-Driving Tips 103008 238 PM Page 44



Even though trailer brakes may be functionalbraking distances almost always are extendedItrsquos also important to make lane changes carefullyand slowly and to allow extended distances forpassing High-quality solidly mounted extendiblemirrors with large reflective areas mdash adjustedproperly mdash are also essential

Speedy traffic seems more tolerant of slow18-wheelers than of slow RVs which makescourtesy an important safety factor for RV own-ers because an irate driver trying to pass can be aserious safety threatcourtesy is not onlythe consideration ofothers itrsquos a safetyissue Frequent moni-toring of rearviewmirrors is necessarywhen a vehicle is tail-gating and trying topass we should helpby driving slightly tothe right to give theother driver a betterview of the roadahead even if a pass-ing opportunity doesnot exist at the timeWe should useturnouts wheneverpossible and avoidfollowing another ve-hicle so closely that avehicle overtakingfrom the rear cannot return to the proper lane

Brake TimeWhile RV brakes are adequate for most situa-

tions care is necessary to avoid overheatingwhich can lead to brake fade If brake fade oc-curs it will likely be on steep downgrades If thishappens friction will raise the temperature ofbrake pads and linings to extremely high levelsresulting in temporary loss of braking

The cure is prevention such as downshiftingto a gear range that is low enough to retardspeed sufficiently that brakes need not be usedmore than occasionally This way enough brak-ing performance is reserved to make an emer-gency stop should it become necessary

When braking on a grade is necessary applythe brakes intermittently with moderate pressureand release the pedal to allow the brakes to cool

The action of electric trailer brakes should beapparent to the driver and sufficient enough tohandle the trailerrsquos weight The controller shouldbe adjusted so that maximum braking action

does not cause trailer-wheel lockup Impropercontroller adjustment is a major cause of inade-quate braking so itrsquos wise to study the manufac-turerrsquos instructions Travel-trailer instability (fish-tailing) should not occur in a well-balanced well-hitched combination but if it does independentactuation of trailer brakes usually will bring thetrailer back into line

On the Right TrackAll trailers require more space for turns and

travel trailers followthe tow-vehicle trackmore closely than dofifth-wheels whichtrack farther to theinside of a turnThere is need for con-tinual awarenesswhich should eventu-ally become second-nature after a modestamount of on-the-road experience

Fifth-wheel trail-ers are different toback than conven-tional trailers and re-quire more practicefor someone accus-tomed to backing aconventional trailerA well-used tech-nique involves plac-

ing onersquos hand at the bottom of the steeringwheel and moving it in the same direction thetrailer is intended to go Itrsquos more effective withtravel trailers than with fifth-wheels which oftenrequire more turning of the steering wheelHandheld two-way radios can allow an assistantto more effectively relay backing instructions tothe driver

Before each trip itrsquos essential to check thetires to assure that inflation pressures matchthose molded on tire sidewalls (cold) or that theyare appropriate for your load (consult both thetire and vehicle loadinflation tables) Also besure to inspect all vehicle fluids per standardmaintenance procedure during heavy-duty vehi-cle use cycles and make sure trailer-wheel lugnuts are tightened to factory specifications

Trailering is a great way to explore the newhorizons and a great way to check out the won-derful camping destinations that are available toowners of recreational trailers But always keepin mind that defensive driving will pay off in safetravel q
