Good video Brian. A while back we were on the way to Land between the lakes for a day of fun. A guy with a uhaul and a car on a dolly asked if I could help him keep the straps from coming off. He had come from GA and made it to KY welcome center and had stopped to re secure the car 3 times. I explained and showed him and then had him secure it and check that it was right before leaving. He just didn’t know and no one had taken time to show him.

30 years ago I was riding with my parents and seen a lawnmower bounce on a little trailer and send a late 70s model Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 in the ditch like it was sheet metal in the wind. I learned quite a bit that day. Cool vid for the newbies.

Well said Brian. I have seen many people use there winch as a tie down point. We were on a ride with you once and I asked Tyler if I can help him tie down the units on your trailer. The best answer I could ever ask for” Thanks G-man, this is my responsibility to do this correctly”. I would bet you guys don’t even know how many miles you’ve clocked towing, hauling correctly. Thank you for sharing what you’ve learned through the years.

We always count how many bad tow setups on our way to the trails it’s scary. Great video keep them coming

[garytingler]

Your right I see so many people not hauling their stuff correctly. It should be common sense. But in todays world people have lost common sense. Please keep the videos coming!!!

[Hugo-Hernandez]

As well like you said strapping stuff down is really important. A lot of people don’t know how to use a strap properly. Great video

[charlesbeckham]

GREAT & important video. I am a commercial truck driver, load placement and weight distribution is critical for hassle free towing. I see lots of people hauling their SxS on a trailer that was never meant to haul that SxS, trailer tires are way overloaded, just a disaster waiting to happen. It's crazy, why spend premium money on a nice SxS and go cheap on a proper trailer? Anyway great informative video, I hope it will open peoples eyes and minds when it comes to towing in general.

Another safety tip. Cross the chains under your hitch, @1:59 your safety chains obviously aren’t crossed and won’t catch the hitch if the trailer detaches. See this all the time, stay safe out there. 👊

I always tow my grill forward facing, thanks for the tip

[deanretzlaff]

Well said..I have a few sxs roofs on the side of the highway..

[kevincassidy]

Great video, I’ve seen this a lot over the years with travel trailers as well !!!

I have a super atv flip up windshield and an amish made canvas roof i take off every long trip i take. And always tow the pioneer forward. Cuts down on a lot of wind resistance. These things take time and knowledge to have fun with.

[BigDogPowersports]

Great PSA vid. I'm making a blog post to embed it in right now!

[toben]

Use the tire straps also. They work great at securing your utv without putting stress on the suspension.

[charlesrfox]

Great video and advice. I have a fully enclosed cab with hard doors and all glass windows on Polaris Northstar. Also tow with a truck that has a full size slide in camper that deflects the wind. Thoughts?

[tomahawksteak]

This is a great video . Biggest reason trailers sway is not enough tongue weight. I load my rzr so all the tires are in front of my first axle. .

[miner]

They actually recommend you tow the Polaris General loaded backward. Well at least that's what my dealer recommends because the roof catches the air different on a trailer and it can pull it off at highway speeds.

[chrismoore]

Great video Brian! Crazy how many people you see towing improperly. Strapping video would be great.
Thx

[johnanderson]

Never had a problem with towing backwards. SuperATV flip up windshield that I flip up during towing. Also, a rear windshield will help deflect air, but not necessary as I’ve done it before installing one. Also, most UTVs are pretty evenly distributed in weight with the engines being in the rear, so weight is actually on the forward portion of the trailer towing backwards, along with coolers, etc being strapped in the dump bed of the side by side. Proper strapping is key in my experience.

Noticed you made a video on how to apply dielectric grease to electrical connectors but the comments were turned off. Anyway, some jackass watched your video and smeared dielectric grease all over every single connector underneath my customers truck. Made it undrivable. I had fun cleaning that mess up. Thanks for job security bro 👍
