Towing in slick conditions

[Twistedlarch]

Hi all

I'll be most likely towing my TT over the pass in slick conditions next week.

Trailer: 3,800 lb single axle
Truck: Toyota Tundra 4x4

While I consider myself to be an expert in Winter conditions I've never had the opportunity to tow a trailer in slick conditions.

My truck is fully equipped for Winter driving and I do have chains for both tow vehicle and trailer. I will not hesitate to chain up the trailer.

A lot of it is common sense but I am looking for some pointers/do's and don'ts of towing in snowy/icy conditions.

Thanks!
Brian

If from Cottage Grove is it safe to assume headed over Santiam Pass? I think that is the highest commonly used pass in the state about 4,500’ or so. It can get pretty bad at times, just watch “Trip Check” and plan according.

Slow and steady arrives safely.

Practice putting on your truck and trailer chains home before you head out

Have you done a "search" of this site yet? I seem to remember a discussion of this last year and a lot of folks from Colorado, Idaho and Utah chimed in with good advice.

Good luck,
