Yes and No. Bigger is usually easier but with this rig the truck itself is so long, with a bad turning radius. 4x8 trailers are damn near impossible to back with a truck. Like you said just unhook and walk it back. Same thing goes for waverunners there are a pain backing down ramps into the water. Want to **** someone of give them a riding mower with a little trailer and tell them to back it in somewhere tight.

Women just don't take commands well at all, good luck with the divorce.

Her job is just to make sure that I stop before I hit something that I can't see...I worry about everything else.

know what you mean, but what we do is that I position the trailer, and my wife finishes backing it up, she has a "softer" touch on the wheel and I'm the one guiding her, very slowly, works better for us.
