Chevy Trailer Towing Parts

Looking at hitting the road on that long-awaited vacation or weekend getaway? You'll want to trailer a toy or two -- jet skis, a dirt bike, a powerboat, or even a second vehicle. To do things safely, you'll need to install a few key towing parts first.

One's a trailer hitch or hitch adapter (also called a hitch receiver). It hooks up to the frame of your vehicle and lets you attach other trailering parts, such as ball mounts and trailer balls. These, you attach to another critical component: the trailer coupler.

A hitch pin or a hitch lock, on the other hand, you stick in your trailer ball to help keep your hitch and receiver together. Trailer lighting is also important; it indicates the position of your load on the road. You'll want the kind that works with your tail lighting.

Next, put on trailer brakes -- the type that integrate with your vehicle's brakes; they can add some much-needed extra stopping power for heavier loads. A wiring harness should let you easily add both lights and a brake system, not to mention add an auxiliary power source if you need one.

Finally, install a safety chain. This'll help prevent the trailer detaching from your vehicle. Set all this up, and you'll be set to start hauling. Most importantly, though, you'll be looking at a smooth, stable ride, towing effectively around corners, up hills, and over bumps.

Before you buy anything, though, be sure it's the genuine article.

Why Buy Genuine OEM?

The brand you love manufactures trailering accessories for the model you love driving. The aftermarket can't always make the same assurances.
