Towing Season Is Here — Is Your Truck Ready for It?

Summer in Chillicothe means boats on Paint Creek Lake, campers headed toward Hocking Hills, and trailers loaded with ATVs rolling down US-35. If you've been borrowing a truck or limping along with something underpowered, now is the time to fix that. When shopping for a used truck with towing in mind, focus on payload and tow ratings specific to the trim and engine — not just the model name. A base-model half-ton and a well-equipped version of the same truck can have dramatically different tow capacities. Look for integrated trailer brake controllers, tow/haul mode, and a properly rated hitch receiver.
