• What are the basic parts of a trailer?
  The basic parts of a trailer include the frame, axle(s), suspension system, wheels and tires, tongue, safety chains, lights, and wiring. Some trailers are more elaborate than others. Most trailers have a tongue jack and coupler. Additional components can include a ramp or gate, tie-down anchors, fenders, walls or rails, breakaway system, and leveling system.
• Which type of trailer is best?
  The best type of trailer depends on your needs. For general hauling, a utility trailer is ideal. For transporting large vehicles, a flatbed or car hauler works best. Enclosed trailers offer protection for cargo, while gooseneck trailer provide higher towing capacity for heavy-duty tasks. 5th wheel trailers and travel trailers are best for camping and RVing.
• What equipment is required to be on a trailer?
  Most trailers are required to have functioning lights (taillights, brake lights, and turn signals), reflectors, safety chains, and a properly rated coupler. In some cases, trailers may also need brakes, depending on the weight of the load being towed.
• What is included with a trailer?
  A trailer new from the manufacturer will almost always come with everything needed for safe transportation. To tow it, you’ll need a vehicle equipped with the right hitch, wiring connector, and capacity, but the trailer itself will come with all of its own necessary equipment. In addition to the trailer body itself (frame, axle, wheels, tongue, etc.), the trailer might also include tie-downs, a cover, a license plate holder, a spare tire, chocks, and other accessories.
• What trailer wiring do I need?
  Trailer wiring depends on your trailer's setup. A basic 4-pin connector handles brake lights, turn signals, and taillights, while a 7-pin connector adds functionality for reverse lights, electric brakes, and auxiliary power. The correct harness ensures safe communication between your vehicle and trailer.
• What is the number on a trailer called?
  The number on a trailer is called the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), just like your car or truck. This unique number is used to identify the trailer and is often required for registration and legal purposes.
• What is the front end of a trailer called?
  The front end of a trailer is called the tongue or coupler assembly. Sometimes it’s referred to as a trailer hitch. The trailer tongue includes the coupler, which attaches to the towing vehicle, as well as the tongue jack, safety chains, wiring harness, and sometimes a breakaway cable.
• What is the leg on a trailer called?
  The leg on a trailer is called the trailer jack or tongue jack. This jack supports the trailer when it's not attached to a tow vehicle and allows for easy height adjustment to connect or disconnect from the hitch.
• What is the part of the trailer that the ball goes into?
  The part of the trailer that the ball goes into is called the coupler, or sometimes it’s referred to as the tongue. The coupler attaches to the trailer ball on the towing vehicle, forming a secure connection.
• What maintenance should I perform on my trailer?
  Regular trailer maintenance includes checking tire pressure, inspecting wheel bearings, greasing axle components, testing lights and wiring, checking brakes (if equipped), tightening bolts and fasteners, and ensuring the coupler is in good working condition. For specific maintenance instructions on your trailer, you should always refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• How do I know if my trailer axle is bad?
  Signs of a bad trailer axle include uneven tire wear, noisy or grinding bearings, wobbling or instability while towing, or visible damage like bending or cracking in the axle itself. If you notice any of these signs, the axle should be inspected and possibly replaced. The good news is that on many axles, the individual components can be replaced, avoiding the need for a complete overhaul. You can also bring your trailer to a local professional if you’re not up to the task.
