Exactly why I suggest double checking the hookup first. I personally haven't taken a nut shot yet but I have driven a vehicle onto a trailer that wasn't secured. Scarey stuff. Nothing and nobody was hurt but the dude that hooked that one up got his *** chewed pretty good. I always check the hookup before loading now. Doesn't matter if I did it myself just a few minutes previous.

Still, I suppose you don't need to straddle the tongue, just have your head looking down the center. The straddle just makes it easier to keep perspective. I forgot to mention in the first post that its not a bad idea to have a few hand signals worked out before you start. Usually just need "slow", "stop", "go back", and "it's all gone wrong and I'm getting out of here!!!"

just updated the thread to say that the truck did perfect. I even got 14mpg going there and 9 on the way back (downhill vs. uphill). 800 miles in one day pulling the heavy uhaul and my 3000lb cobra on top of it and zero hiccups. couldn't have asked for more and very proud of my truck. averaged 70-75mph most of the way. cobra made ok power on the dyno but has more in it after I fix the spark blowout issues. thanks to everyone for their help

Holy crap that is some serious power! You should supercharge your F-150 so you have two high horsepower vehicles!
