moving a trailer: a minimalist selection framework

Performance first. On a rain-slick boat ramp, the rig edged sideways; I backed off, reset mirrors, then eased out. I thought power mattered; actually, alignment.

Decide, then do

1. Define load and route; keep 10 - 15% tongue weight and margin to stop.
2. Match hitch class to GVWR; if borderline, go one rating up.
3. Dial brake gain, test at 25 mph, seek smooth, linear decel.
4. Use a weight distribution hitch if rear sag passes an inch.
5. Practice backing up a trailer in a quiet lot.

This covers how to tow a trailer, trailer hauling tips, best hitch for small trailers, trailer weight distribution, and a quick trailer safety checklist. Simple inputs, reliable outputs.
