It's really very simple to hitch up. I've only practiced a couple of times before we towed our 5er for the first time this past week. Our F-150 has a trifold tonneau cover flipped back behind the rear sliding window (can't see the hitch) plus I removed the back seat center head rest. All I do is line up the pin in the center of the 2 head rest mounting holes and as I back, look at the pin thru the rear view mirror and as I get the tailgate under the pin I can see the reflection of the hitch thru the mirror on the front of the 5er (yeah it's a Cougar). I've even measured the height of the pin & have it set (close enough) before I start to backup. Piece of cake even for a rookie like me.
