4. Do you have a mighty and powerful Orlando Toyota truck? Do you want to tow
your boat out to the dock for a nice Florida fishing day? Well is your trucked
prepped and ready for towing? Just because you have a powerful throttle and
towing capabilities does not mean your truck is ready to be hitched and gone.
There are some important steps you should really take to prepare your car for
towing. If you’re unsure what these steps are, don’t worry! Our Orlando Toyota
Service Center is here to get you prepped and ready to go with some of your most
treasured loads.
Our Toyota service technicians in Orlando want to teach you some important
towing precautions. One very important before hitching a load is to check your
car’s manufacturer for the maximum towing capacity. As well as if there are any
specific instructions to properly installing cargo to be towed and what driving
mode you should be using.
Gather all the essential and needed tools to tow! When you add tow load to your
car it makes it work harder than it normally has to. So you can’t just attach
something to the bumper with cables and cords. You can cause significant
damage to your car’s structure, which can lead to unwanted auto repairs in
Orlando. Not to mention that it can be a big hazard when driving in fast speeds!
To ensure your car is properly equipped you need a tow bar, a tow hitch receiver
and the proper wiring to have working taillights, brake lights and turning signal on
the trailer.
When you attach a heavy load to your car it works even harder to get you to your
destination. So bring your Orlando Toyota truck to our service center. One of our
highly trained Toyota service technicians will inspect and fix the following for you:
 Oil – When your car is pulling on more than it normally does the engine is
working A LOT! Have your oil changed to improve the performance of your
car. There are different types of motor oils that have a higher viscosity and
lubrication. Use which one would better improve your car and the towing
mode.

5.  Tires – The tires provide the traction and stability you need when driving
with extra cargo in the rear. Ask our Toyota service technicians to check
your tire pressure, thread depth and if it needs rotation. Having a properly
sized tire improves fuel efficiency and safety while driving.
 Shocks and springs – The shocks and springs also provide your vehicle with
a more stable and smoother ride. Prevent it from being rigid and have our
Toyota service department in Orlando check their efficiency.
Aside from car maintenance tips you should also invest in are towing mirrors.
They provide a wider visibility of the truck and tow while driving. Be more
attentive of surrounding cars through the towing mirrors. You may even find the
at our Toyota parts store.
