comply with federal, state, and local
regulations. Check with your local

requirements in your area, and use
only equipment designed f or your

trailer type and brand, you should
have a qualif ied technician install a
suitable connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper

you should install special mirrors if

if the trailer creates a blind spot.
