Funny commercial for sure. Sad though, that we've had to start relying on "systems" in vehicles to allow folks to be able to parallel park or back a trailer.
LEARN TO DRIVE FOLKS!
Was you an expert the first time you ever backed a trailer? Hook you up a set of doubles and take off backing. See how good you really are.
BTW it is "Were you an expert" not "was you".
Of course I wasn't an expert the first time (Duh!) but Dad had me in the old Binder and pup backing until I could jack knife the put at 90 degrees and have the truck at the livestock loading ramp.
As for backing doubles, I have observed drivers for over 40 years at our warehouse and only a couple of them could ever back the doubles more than about the length of the trailer.
No reason on earth that people can't learn to back a single but campgrounds and boat launch ramps seem to disprove that.
All it takes is practice. - transamz9Explorer

That is THE funniest video I have ever seen.
Thanks for sharing it! - Mortimer_BrewstExplorer III wonder what they looked like before all that laughing left them "horse."
- mowermechExplorerI agree with the horses. But then, I am not the driver. He has my sympathy.
BUT, I still agree with the horses.
