Some trailers also require breakaway switches that engage the trailer brakes if it becomes detached. Brake Systems: If the trailer is heavy enough or required by law, installing trailer brakes that sync with the vehicle's braking system. Weight Distribution and Sway Control: For larger trailers, installing weight distribution hitches or sway control devices to ensure stability and safe towing. Towing Capacity Check: Ensuring the vehicle's towing capacity matches or exceeds the weight of the trailer and its contents. Licensing and Registration: Ensuring the trailer is properly registered and licensed according to local regulations. Custom Installations: Depending on the trailer's purpose, additional installations may be necessary, such as toolboxes, racks, or specialized equipment mounts.
