Trailer Accessories

Essentials: spare tire + mount, trailer jack, wheel chocks, tie-down straps/ratchets, lights (running + brake + turn + license plate), breakaway cable with battery (for trailers with brakes). Nice-to-have: tool box, cargo net, backup camera, tongue-weight scale.

Recommended for any trailer over 50% of your tow vehicle's weight or with a tongue weight over 500 lbs. WD hitches reduce sag, improve steering, and prevent trailer sway. Not needed for small utility trailers or light cargo trailers.

Every trailer needs: red rear running lights, brake lights, turn signals, and license plate light. Trailers wider than 80 inches need side marker lights and reflectors. Trailers over 10K GVWR need additional DOT-mandated lighting. LED is brighter, longer-lasting, and more vibration-resistant than incandescent.

Measure the largest item you plan to haul and add 2-3 feet of clearance. Common sizes range from 5x8 (small motorcycles, yard equipment) to 8.5x40 (car haulers, mobile businesses). Contact any dealer on Trailer Shopper® for a sizing consultation.
