Towing Guide for Your Truck or SUV

After purchasing a new truck or SUV from Cassill Motors you may be very excited about putting its advertised towing capacity to test. However, before you use your new truck or SUV to tow your boat, trailer, or camper in Cedar Rapids, IA, there are a few tips you should keep in mind.

First, always check how much your vehicle can actually tow. You and your neighbor could own the same type of truck in different trim levels or with different packages, and that could cause the two of you to have different tow limits.

You should also always check your vehicle's maintenance, and make sure it is up to date. Your tires and fluid levels are especially important. If your maintenance is not up to date and you try to tow a heavy load with your truck or SUV, you may end up breaking down.
