'Before you hit the road, make sure your SUV is equipped to tow large loads, and that includes checking your brakes,' says Moody. 'Take a test run with your trailer or camper to get a sense of how the vehicle will handle with the extra weight. Don't forget to adjust your mirrors and determine your blind spots before you're in motion.'
