Your trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) includes both its empty weight and cargo capacity, and exceeding it can lead to brake failure, tire blowouts, and loss of control.

Always check the GVWR before loading—TrailersPlus can help you find the right trailer for safe hauling.

Trailer Breakaway System: What is it? Do I have to have one?

A trailer breakaway system is a legal requirement for a trailer to have when equipped with trailer brakes. If the trailer was ever to disconnect from the tow vehicle while driving, the trailer breakaway pin would be pulled out of the breakaway switch. This causes the trailer brakes to activate, stopping the trailer in the event of an emergency and hopefully preventing the trailer from causing damage or harm.

A few items to keep in mind:

-This is not a parking brake

-The 12v battery that operates the trailer brakes is only designed to hold a 15 minute usage charge once the pin is pulled out of the breakaway switch

-When the trailer is stationary and plugged into your vehicle, do not pull the breakaway pin. This can cause the 12v battery to overwork itself due to charging and operating at the same time, potentially resulting in overheating.

-Always check state laws on the requirements of trailer breakaway systems and the quantity of brakes you need on tandem axle trailers.
