Reversing TT with F350- Crew Cab Short Bed
Hi Everyone,
I've had a TT for 5 years now and have been towing with my 1/2 GMC Yukon XL (Chevy Suburban)
I HAVE NEVER BEEN AN EXPERT in reversing my TT into a camp ground slot. In fact it has always been a point of great stress and something that I do not look forward to. To make matters worse, is that we probably only go out 2-3 times a year, so just as I'm getting better then the TT goes back into storage and I forget everything.
Anyway, we have just bought an F350 Pickup, short Bed with Crew Cab as the Yukon is getting old and tired and always struggled to tow our modest 24'+3 tong 5000Ib trailer.
We are heading out on our summer trip in a little over 4 weeks and I do plan to practice a bit with the new truck before leaving. But I'm dreading that first camp ground reverse in slot :-(..
Can anyone tell me if this is going to be 1)Easier, 2)Harder or 3)Same as reversing with the Yukon?
I can see that the steering circle is quite a bit less on the F350 and the Yukons steering seems more responsive. However it looks like visibility on the F350 is much better..
I do have my wife who does a great job of trying to guide her stubborn "I can do it' husband into the slots! :-)... Any advise for her?
Thanks!
Steve
