Auto Correct: Towing


Listen Later

If you drive down the highway, you can’t help but notice all the camper trailers and boats that people are pulling. Not to mention the yard maintenance folks who have trailers with their tools. We’re going to talk about tow capacity and hitches today. But that’s just between your vehicle repair questions. 

Our expert is The Lady Auto Mechanic, Allison Walker – ASE Certified.
