No matter how far you are planning to drive -- down the street or across the state -- using safety chains when you tow is smart, safe and required by law. Without safety chains attached, there is a serious risk of danger if your trailer becomes uncoupled from your trailer hitch. Play it safe with safety chains, and play it even safer with safety chains from CURT. CURT has a few different options when it comes to securing your trailer. These safety chains feature a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. They come with a black vinyl coating to protect them from the elements and to ensure they do not scratch your vehicle. They are also fitted with durable latch hooks that provide extra security and safety while towing. This package includes two 1/4" x 60" safety chain assemblies. Remember, each safety chain assembly connecting your trailer to your vehicle must meet or exceed the gross trailer weight.
