Towing an Everything Marine USA trailer—Real X, South Florida, or USA—is a breeze with our Miami-made builds, but safety’s on you. Florida’s laws and Miami’s wild roads demand prep. Here’s how to tow smart and stay legal with our trailers.
Florida’s rules kick in hard. Trailers over 3,000 lbs GVWR—like most of ours—need brakes; our Kodiak discs deliver. Lights—brake, turn, running—must work; our submersible LEDs ace it. Use a 2” ball hitch, rated for your load—check the coupler (e.g., 5,000 lbs). Over 10,000 lbs GVWR? Get a Class C license. Cops patrol 95—fines sting; our trailers comply, you enforce.
Prep’s your shield. Check tires—our radials need full tread, right PSI (sidewall says). Lock the coupler—twist it—then cross safety chains under the tongue; they catch a breakaway. Strap your boat—two aft, one bow—tight but not hull-busting. Balance—5-10% weight over the hitch—cuts sway; our frames help. Walk it twice—two minutes beats a wreck.
Drive Miami-style—cautious. Speed’s 55-65 mph max—slower on A1A’s bends or 826’s mess. Double your gap—our brakes grip, but traffic doesn’t. Extend mirrors if your boat blinds you—law says see. Windy on the causeway? Slow down; Xcalibur’s stability shines, but gusts push. Night? Lights triple-checked—cops lurk.
Ramps test you. At Matheson or Pelican Harbor, back slow—our guide poles nail it (practice first). Submerge wheels only—our aluminum laughs at salt, but save your exhaust. Launch steady, retrieve slow—winch evenly; jerks snap gear. Wet brakes grab; tap to dry. Crowds? Chill—haste breaks stuff.
Pack spares—tire, jack, wrench. Flats hit on US-1’s shoulder. Gas up pre-ramp—idling drains. New? Watch a pro first. Our trailers haul tough; these tips keep you safe. Tow right, boat happy.
