All I had with me was a Milwaukee impact and set of sockets. They did check air pressures and torqued every light on it before I took off on an almost 300 mile trip home.

Honestly the trailer manufacturers recommend checking lug nuts after the first 50 - 100 miles. There is usually a sticker on the trailer and it's usually printed in the owners manual. Not saying that I always follow that suggestion but I do know it is there

Lost a tire off a brand new double axle open trailer somewhere between Kansas City and Topeka in the middle of the night on the turnpike. Watched the news for a couple days to make sure it didn't go through a car and kill somebody. Still don't know what happened to that tire. I was up against the barrier wall about 90 MPH! 🤔 Check your nuts!!!
@theosmit636617 күн бұрын
Definitely... any multi-axle trailer puts a really heavy lateral load on the wheels anytime you turn a corner, and when you have a newly mounted set of wheels on the trailer it can take a few re-torques to get them to 'set'. Especially if the wheels are powdercoated. I would check the lugnuts at every gas stop on the first couple of trips with any new or new-to-me trailer or wheel installation.

Trailer lug torque check made it onto my pre-flight checklist a while back for Reasons. Especially my previous 20' trailer with alloy wheels. For whatever reason those liked to loosen up occasionally. The dealer made a point of it too when I picked it up as well as a sticker on the tongue. I did check them initially, but in the end I still had to learn that one the hard way...

I bought a '72 Covette some years back and went to pick it up, about 150 miles from home so I took my car trailer. The seller said " I figured you would drive it home?" I paid the guy, loaded it and headed for home. Days later it had rally wheels and I took the center caps and beauty rings off to clean the wheels, discovered that two of the wheels only had 3 lug nuts on them. Sellers make fun of "Tire Kickers" but it pays to kick the tires and check lug nuts. 😉
