Oh, where to begin with that question. First thought is safety. Have the proper amount of air in the tires. Same with proper amount of torque.

Welcome to the forum!

Suggest reading your owner's manual carefully from front to back, and keeping a note pad handy to list what you need to do to prepare IMO.

You and only you are the master of your fate here.

For each and every system and sub-system, confirm that there is nothing to do, and/or list all the prep work needed.

What is your previous experience.towing? That is potentially a huge unknown here.

In terms of riding a bicycle . . . after two years of only walking . . . what to do . . . ?



Good luck for a safe and happy return to towing
