Towing
Definition:
Most vehicles can tow a moderate amount of weight (1000 lbs. or less) without too much trouble. But for heavier loads, the suspension and cooling system may require beefing up (See the owners manual for towing recommendations and load limits). Overload or air-assist shocks can keep the rear end from sagging, and a stabilizer bar on the trailer hitch can reduce swaying. Automatic transmissions should be equipped with an oil cooler to protect the transmission against overheating. A larger radiator or a larger fan may be required to keep the engine from overheating.
