Increase Towing Capacity on your Rig

Have you been looking to purchase an RV or trailer to tow your sxs? There are many things to consider when purchasing. Towing capacity, suspension and terrain are priority.

There are many ways to increase towing capacity to make your trip safer and without incident.

  • Get the correct Hitch
  • Use of a Tuner/Programmer
  • Upgrade braking system
  • Upgrade suspension

Get the correct hitch.

When choosing the correct hitch for your vehicle you want to make sure it can handle the weight of your trailer and accessories. To help with towing larger bumper pull trailers, a weight distribution hitch may be the best for you. The benefits of a weight distribution hitch will help balance the weight of the trailer throughout the vehicle instead of just the hitch receiver. Browse Curt hitch's here

     

Use of a tuner/programmer.

Most newer vehicles are coming equipped with more power and torque from the factory, However the use of a tuner/programmer will help in giving more usable power throughout the curve. When joined with an ID Speed Shop custom tune, we can safely add power and torque without sacrificing any reliability from the vehicle. With adding power and torque to the vehicle you'll use less pedal input to get going and will be able to maintain speeds easier going uphill and mountains. Browse SCT products here

   

Upgrade braking system.

Braking systems are always one area that most don't think about when towing. However, it is one of the most important. When towing heavy loads, you'll want to be able to stop the vehicle when coming downhill safely. Upgrading to heavy duty pads and rotors or even larger brakes will help in reducing your stopping distance. Browse brake components here

   

Upgrade suspension.

When upgrading suspension, it is important to make sure the load is secure and steady. With the use of an Air suspension system this will help distribute the weight and keep the vehicle level. while driving down the road. Browse Airlift products here
