सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Confusing engine power with towing capacity (power alone insufficient)
  • Not including trailer weight in payload calculations

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Why shouldn't I exceed towing capacity?

Overloading causes frame stress, brake failure, transmission overheating, and dangerous handling.

Do hitches increase towing capacity?

No; hitch connects to frame limits; capacity determined by vehicle design, not hitch.
