in excess of 65 mph (105 km/h).
Tow vehicle / hitch requirements
1. Check the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of
the light tower trailer. See Specifications .
2. Check the rated towing capacity of the tow vehicle
and hitch. Both must meet or exceed the GVWR of
the light tower trailer.
Note: Check the vehicle owner's manual and hitch
owner's manual for rated towing capacities.

Using a tow vehicle or hitch with a rated towing capacity
less than the GVWR of the light tower trailer could result
in death or serious injury. Use only a tow vehicle and
hitch with a rated towing capacity that meets or exceeds
the GVWR of the light tower trailer.
Check the tow vehicle hitch type
The light tower trailer is designed for the following types
of tow vehicle hitches:
