Towing 101: Keyes Cars

At Keyes Cars in Los Angeles, CA, our staff is ready to recommend the best new and used cars for your lifestyle. Are you a driver who frequently hauls trailers and trucks on long drives?

If you tow things regularly, you should consider buying a pickup truck. Some of our favorites include the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2018 GMC Sierra. Both vehicles are known for being extremely tough and durable. 

The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado has an incredible towing capacity of 5,500 to 9,400 lbs, while the 2018 GMC Sierra has an impressive 5,500 to 9,300 lbs. When choosing a truck for towing, it’s important to prioritize durability over style; however,  the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2018 GMC Sierra trucks manage to deliver on both.

Want to know how to tow a trailer? Instead of buying a brand new car, consider buying some parts to upgrade your current situation. With help from the staff at our parts department, you can find the best pieces to make your vehicle better at towing. 

One of the first things you’ll need is a tow hitch to connect your vehicle to the object you’re towing. If you’re going to be hauling a trailer for a long period of time, consider purchasing some towing mirrors. These mirrors will help you see beyond the trailer or object you’re towing, which makes the trip both safer and easier.
