PRINTABLE TOWCHECK CHECKLIST

Pre-purchase towing checklist

Use this planning aid alongside the exact manufacturer documentation and qualified inspection appropriate to your equipment.

1. □Photograph the exact tow vehicle’s payload, certification and tire labels
2. □Obtain official GCWR and loaded-trailer-rating documentation for the exact configuration
3. □Confirm receiver trailer and tongue or pin-weight ratings
4. □Record trailer GVWR, unloaded weight and cargo capacity from its labels
5. □Estimate occupants, cargo, hitch hardware, accessories, fluids and supplies
6. □Run payload, GVWR, GCWR, axle, receiver, tire and trailer checks independently
7. □Plan a loaded-scale verification before travel
8. □Keep the calculator report with the purchase notes
