How Many Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap # EM58523 are Needed to Secure a Vehicle
Question:
I see a lot of people only strapping down 2 wheels. I’m going to be hauling a 2018 GMC Terrain Denali AWD inside of a 24’ enclosed trailer. Would I be okay just to secure one set of wheels? This would cut my e track and strap needs in half. Also, what is best— backed in or pulled in?

Expert Reply:
It's pretty common to only secure one axle on a vehicle with the Erickson E-Track Wheel Tie-Down Strap # EM58523 that you referenced. I would pull your vehicle on to the trailer. You'd be better off having the weight of the vehicle engine further forward than back since trailer sway is typically caused by not having enough tongue weight.
