  • Hey 4K Family, today we are helping a friend move (every truck owner understands) using my 2018 Nissan Titan XD and a Uhaul 6'x12' enclosed trailer. We discuss some of the basic considerations when it comes to using your vehicle to tow a trailer. Obviously, this is only a broad overview, as there are many factors and details important to you and your vehicle when actually towing a trailer. We hope you enjoy, please like and subscribe for more!

    Great video. Thanks for putting this together.
    Have watched a bunch before I try to tow my first trailer. This is now my favorite. Video is the most practical, covers all the key points not just one or two, and more importantly reminds the driver of all safety precautions to be aware of. It’s not a video that just pushes the limits of the towing vehicle like some crazy tv show to get views and likes.

    Thanks for the video! It was very helpful. I bought an enclosed trailer a couple of days ago and haven’t moved it since I parked it because I need to back it out. This gives me a pretty good start! Thanks again!

    my dad has a 12 ft and a 17 ft trailer to tow behind his 2002 Volvo v70 and but he isn't allowed to drive because of his sight and I see no problem with the 12 ft trailer at gas stations the 17 ft trailer is not taxed or inspected so he is not allowed to drive with it on the road

    I the heavyweight was supposed to be over the axle?

    • @4KMotoring
      @4KMotoring  Рік тому +1

      The majority of the weight should be carried over the axles, but biased forward towards the truck rather than away from the truck

    You can also just look up the tow rating of the vehicle.

    • @4KMotoring
      @4KMotoring  2 роки тому

      Usually, yes. But your trim level and options could vary the number a bit from what is posted online

    Would you tell me how to fill gas while towing a trailer??

    • @4KMotoring
      @4KMotoring  2 роки тому +2

      Location is key. Truck stops/ travel centers typically have easy in-out pumps. Pick a place you can pull through, trust that the pump hose is long enough that you don't need to be scraping the pump

    • @bmdiver09
      @bmdiver09 Рік тому +1

      After refueling just make sure you give extra distance when pulling away from the pumps.

    Great info. Here is a bit of constructive criticism. Stop saying um and uh. You said one or the other before nearly every phrase. Slow down and think about what you want to say.

      Thanks! That was definitely a struggle for the early days of my channel. I'm slowing getting around to refilming most of the early ones.

      ​@@4KMotoringFiller words never bothered me, idk why they bother people, it doesn't detract from your point. If you are trying to improve though, you know what you're going to say, the issue is we use filler words because we don't understand how long our pauses our so we use filler words like uh and um to fill that pause, it's okay to pause silently
