Towing your boat has a huge range of benefits. It means you can take your boat to a closed-off body of water, such as a lake, or launch it wherever you please along a river. 

While towing a boat can be a bit daunting, it doesn't need to be if you follow the right safety measures before, during and after your trip. 

Bendix has put together a super helpful video full of tips on how you can safely tow your boat. These tips will help make sure your boat makes it both to the boat ramp and back home safely. 

One of the most important things to remember is that it's not all about the boat and trailer. The car you're using to tow also needs to be up to the task. 

Four-wheel drives are excellent tow vehicles thanks to their torquey engines and large towing capacities, but there are still some ways they can be improved to better handle their towing tasks. 

One key upgrade is the Ultimate 4WD Brake Upgrade Kit from Bendix. This high-quality brake upgrade kit will improve the stopping power, and the safety, of your tow vehicle and keep you and your boat safer on the road.
