So, automakers are always striving to crush it on towing capacity without killing fuel economy. As Consumer Reports warns, never assume a pickup truck can tow like a beast just because it looks like a beast.

This holds true for any type of tow vehicle. Loved by weekend warriors, mid-size trucks are great for pulling small campers, with maximum towing capacities or GVWRs ranging from 5, to 7, pounds. Full-size trucks are incredibly popular with consumers and are designed with plenty of torque for pulling power. Maximum towing capacities in this segment range from 9, to 13, pounds GVWR. They tow a maximum of 12, to 18, pounds GVWR.

Their maximum towing capacity ranges from 20, to 32, pounds GVWR. A weight-carrying hitch is mainly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers. You want it to uniformly distribute your trailer tongue loads through the bumper and frame. A weight-distributing hitch works with a hitch platform to distribute tongue load to all trailer and tow vehicle wheels. Weight-distributing platforms are welded or bolted to your trailer frame. Spring bars bend upward as lengths of chain are pulled up and tightened, which lifts some weight from the rear wheels and transfers weight to the other wheels of the vehicle and the trailer.

A gooseneck hitch attaches in the truck bed with universal or custom rails. Commonly used for agriculture and horse trailers, this type of hitch gives you great stability and is suitable for heavier loads because the weight of the tongue rests directly on the truck bed, over the rear axles.

Commonly used for RVs, a fifth-wheel hitch is mounted in the pickup bed to put more trailer weight directly over the towing vehicle. Your trailer has a longer tongue than Gene Simmons. The tongue is the part of the trailer that extends forward from the trailer box, including the coupler. Too little weight on the tongue can cause your trailer to sway from side to side, while too much weight can overload the rear tires of your tow vehicle and push the rear end of your vehicle around.

But not you. Empty your tanks : Empty the freshwater, black, and gray holding tanks before you leave home. You can also dump these tanks again at certain campsites. By reducing your overall weight, you can increase your fuel economy. Your wallet will thank you when you gas up. Overdrive is overrated : When it comes to fifth wheels, anyway. Overdrive reduces the wear and tear on your truck over long trips, with less noise and better gas mileage when not hauling anything.
