here's a brilliant little tip that'll
0:04
save you tons of aggravation this
0:06
fishing season it's something we've all
0:08
experienced you back up to a trailer you
0:11
get that dead-on spot where the ball and
0:13
the hitch are perfectly lined up put the
0:15
truck in park proudly walk around in the
0:17
back to button everything up only to
0:19
find your vehicle has moved slightly
0:21
forward or backward and now you got to
0:23
go back into the truck and do it all
0:25
over again and again in some cases again
0:28
it's annoying it's frustrating and it
0:30
happens far too often the solution
0:33
simply use your emergency brake
0:35
once you get your hitch and trailer
0:36
tongue perfectly lined up and before you
0:38
remove your right foot from your brake
0:40
engage your e-brake with your other foot
0:43
then you can put the vehicle in park
0:45
take your foot off the regular brake
0:46
exit the vehicle and hook up your rig
0:50
it's also a good idea to use your
0:51
e-brake when parked with the trailer
0:53
behind on any incline or decline it's
0:55
simply a good habit to get into
0:58
as well using your emergency brake keeps
1:00
it loosened up and moving avoiding that
1:02
seized up cable a few years down the
1:06
trust me you do not want to be that guy
1:09
on your street in the marina parking lot
1:11
or even at the ramp that puts on a
1:13
spectacle of spectacles
