Backing the tow vehicle to the hook

[BW from AZ]

Practice..You'll get the feel for it..Get the trailer and vehicle in a dead strait line and look in the mirrors, you should see things about equaly spaced. Sneak up on it.
All good advice. I might add to lower the hitch a turn or two so it touches the ball and not the bumper or tail gate. My suburban will squat 1/2 inch and slide under and then pops up when i do it right. I'm called back up Bob by some of my friends .

My 2009 Tacoma comes with a camera in the rear view. The minute I put it into reverse i get a tv quality pictue on the left 1/3rd of my rear view mirror. Great little option.

Have someone else back up the truck while you watch.

I had the same problem last year. Couldn't see the hitch. On internet I saw a device to bring trailer to truck but too pricey. Fred flintstone method to do same thing is to mount a winch to trailer behind hitch. Put cable around ball and back to winch and crank trailer to ball,secure hitch and cable and off you go. Could be bad on a down slope/grade ,but a stop for wheels would fix that.
