Towing generally requires a variety
of supplemental equipment. To

Your dealer offers a trailer package
that includes a hitch, a ball mount,
and a wiring harness.

Discuss any additional needs with
your trailer sales or rental agency,
and make sure all equipment is
properly installed, maintained, and
also meets state, federal, province,
and local regulations.
