For those of you that are "challenged" backing up

Yup. Makes me laugh listening to these old guys, "I don't need upholstery on my seats! Just something else to go wrong. We used to sit on rusty nails!"

LOL! Nailed it!

Am I the only one that sees this as a way to teach/learn about backing a trailer? When you turn that little knob, the steering wheel responds too. If it breaks, you are still able to backup the good "old" fashioned way.

I would also argue that you are less likely to hit something with the front of the tow vehicle because you are not so completely absorbed trying to aim the trailer.

Notice it's mostly coming from the guys with the "old trucks". And mostly coming from the guys who own that "other brand". :W
