How to Tow a 21 Foot Bigfoot Trailer With a Chevy Silverado
- 1). Check in your vehicle's owners manual for the towing capacity of your specific model. It will need to be at least 8,000 pounds to safely tow the 21-foot Bigfoot trailer and your cargo.
- 2). Check that your vehicle's hitch ball matches the size of the trailer's coupler.
- 3). Connect the truck to the trailer by lowering the coupler on to the hitch and locking it in place with the latch. Lock the latch in the down position with a cotter pin.
- 4). Connect the trailer's chains in a crossing pattern to the hitch's chain connections.
- 5). Fasten the trailer's electrical plug to the vehicle's trailer wiring receiver. Test that the trailer's lights and brakes operate properly.
- 6). Remove the wheel chocks from the trailer's tires.
