Futura lowering trailers are lightweight and built to last. Every part is solid metal, bolted on to the high-grade, anodized aluminum chassis with cleverly hidden, solid aircraft rivets rather than welds. This provides excellent corrosion resistance and prevents fatigue cracking. That being said, like any other major investment, there are some important tips to keep your trailer working blazingly.

Before you pick up any tools or check any parts, grab your owner’s manual. Even using this article as a reference won’t replace your owner’s manual. If you have technical questions they could be answered by reading through it. You can find most answers to your questions in the the maintenance section. The Futura owners manual also offers helpful tips for your specific model.

Your tires are an essential part of your Futura lowering trailers, so if they’re not in peak working condition, it can greatly hurt your efficiency and even create a road hazard. Because of this, you’ll want to inspect your tires before each tow.

Use a tire pressure gauge to ensure they’re properly inflated to 55 psi and do this while the tires are still cold. As you check the tires, you can also check the tread for signs of damage or excessive wear and make note of which ones might need to be changed soon.

Next, check the wheel lug nut torque before each tow, and at the 10, 25, and 50 mile marks. Check the wheel bearings for heat and excessive play at these same intervals.

Maintaining the deck is pretty simple as long as you keep it clean. This can be especially important during times of the year when there is salt on the road in colder months, or if you’ve been through grimy driving conditions. Wash the deck regularly to keep it clean and free of damaging materials.

You can wash with soap and water, but we suggest using a streak-free cleaning agent. You’ll also want to rinse out the rigging and pulleys with freshwater before debris and dirt start to build up.

When you take care of your trailer, you will ensure its longevity for optimal performance.

If you find that there’s a performance or maintenance concern that’s giving you particular trouble, submit a service request so we can help you get back on the road no matter where you’re located in our distributing locations.
