Break away brake cable
Where do you hook your break away brake cable.
Do you hook to the hitch somewhere?
Do you hook to bed rail?
How far in do you hook it?

- I put an eye on my hitch so I could hook the brake switch wire to the hitch. Been doing that for 18 years now. I don't think it makes much difference where you hook it as long as it hooked to the tow vehicle.
- In case separation occurs because of hitch failure.
We hook it to a dedicated loop that was installed on the bumper. - I connected my cable to the truck bed near the edge of the tailgate with a carabiner. Just make sure the cable can't get tangled up with anything during manuevering.
- I use a carabineer and hook to the bed rails
- If the hitch flies out of the bed of the truck, you have worse problems than worrying about the breakaway.
I catch mine up in the lock on the safety latch on a Reese hitch. - I flip the loop on cable over hitch handle

MOST Important part in Red!!!
I will be relocating mine to a BETTER location, as I pulled the pin backing into a space.
