Headlight adjustment needed when towing?

[lobsterman]

I have searched but could not find info on this so I apologize if it’s already been asked. Will our headlights adjust automatically when towing a trailer? I assume with weight on the back of the truck, the front will raise and headlights could “blind” on coming traffic at night. Don‘t want to be that guy, so has this been a problem or nothing to worry about?

The headlights will not adjust. If your headlights are blinding oncoming traffic, that means your vehicle is squatting too much.

Ok, thanks. When my new sled trailer finally comes in (on back order) I will see how much the headlights move up after hooking up. It’s only 3000lbs fully loaded so tongue weight should be about 300lbs so probably not a problem.

It shouldn't be a problem. If it is, than there's something wrong.

You can leave the headlights unadjusted if you really like the underside of airplanes. You get to see them up close that way.
