AKIQPilot Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Been discussed several times over the years. There are definitely a few around here who swear by it. IMO it's completely unnecessary. Just one more thing to drive the cost of the vehicle up and fail over time. I wouldn't use it even if the truck had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how it works backing up something like a 1 man post hole digger ? I can back up abuot anything with no prob . but some of the rental shit with a 3 ft span from bumper to axil is imposable. I tell you what back when I would trailer boat to lake I can verify there are many many many out there that need that. hell 1 of the guys who works for me is a fucking retard when it comes to backing up a trailer . he could not even get my boat in to the launch when I was less than 30 feet from it. and we are talking about a 25ft boat axels at least 18 feet from bumper . a blind guy could back that thing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rw06GT Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 How did AMG get your password Tom? I do agree if you have an f150 and use it, you're a faggot. I use mine to hookup to my trailers but not to back them up. Needs the mirrors for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Kivalo Posted June 24, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted June 24, 2017 The way I learned to back up a trailer was to turn around and look where your going (backwards) and then go. Not looking in mirrors or relying on others, except for distance from a wall or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't laugh, but when I was 14, 15,I worked for a traveling carnival with rides . Each ride is assigned 2 people to operate and setup/tear down. Every time we got to a new location, the driver would allow me to park the ride with an LTL9000 . was a cool experience when all my buds were still riding bikes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Kivalo Posted June 24, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted June 24, 2017 Maybe backing up a trailer as in tractor trailer its not good principle but in the real world looking behind you is a good idea. Not every trailer is measured as a TEU, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
