You want to pull a trailer. What must you be aware of?

You answered correctly! When pulling a trailer in Germany, you must always check the maximum towable weight your vehicle is allowed to pull, the maximum vertical load on the hitch (Stützlast), and the permissible load of the trailer itself. These values are important for safety and are specified in the vehicle and trailer documents. Exceeding any of these limits can make the setup unsafe and is not allowed under German traffic regulations. Always ensure all three are within legal limits before towing.
