Thanks Korbe and SD camp.. Good thought from both.. appreciated.
So, once I slide into the hitch, the truck is still at unloaded height, and the hitch will latch or I will latch it. Then I think I will lower the fifth onto the bed by releasing the front jacks just to above the pavement, pull forward to make sure it is hitched, and then lift the front jacks up. Right?
Yep, I hold the trailer brake lever on full power to lock the brakes and tug test lightly while gear is just off the ground. Then feel that the handle is locked in then I look at the jaws that I painted red. Padlock the hitch handle.
