Break away brake cable

[Toolguy5]

Where do you hook your break away brake cable.
Do you hook to the hitch somewhere?
Do you hook to bed rail?
How far in do you hook it?

I bought one of those fastway, I think that's what they are called. It shows in my pic how I hook it up. It works great.No more getting caught.It cost like 14.00.

I use a "quick link" and it serves the additional protection of insuring that the safety latch is latched and will stay latched.

That's where I connect mine too

We have ours hooked on to the side wall of the truck, it's high enough to keep it from getting into the hitch, but not mounted on the hitch.

Using a carabiner, I do the same thing. I also encased the cable in a length of split loom to prevent it from getting caught up under a rail, etc.

MOST Important part in Red!!!
I will be relocating mine to a BETTER location, as I pulled the pin backing into a space.

I use a carabineer and hook to the bed rails

I connected my cable to the truck bed near the edge of the tailgate with a carabiner. Just make sure the cable can't get tangled up with anything during manuevering.
