Trailer Valet

What do you think of this?

Our 2016FC23D is parked on our property on a slight incline.
I wonder how much incline it can handle...?

Looks pretty cool but for 3,900 bucks, I could probably do without it.... There has GOT to be cheaper options out there that would do the trick. Just saying..

Hi

Given the size of the gizmo, there's not much room for batteries in there. I'd wonder just how far it will go on a charge and how long the batteries last ....

Incline wise, does it just stall or does it start skidding? Having the trailer take off down the hill .... yikes !!! ....

According to the manufacturer, the battery lasts 30 minutes. That sounds reasonable. On a flat surface, if the spec is as advertised, it would be a great tool. My concern is that our FC23D is parked on a slight incline (our entire property is a bit higher than the surrounding streets), and if it starts to slip on the slope, it would be the most terrifying thing imaginable. I would love to see more real life user experience videos before buying it.

Hi

I would be very surprised if it can deal with anything other than dead level / flat concrete for 30 minutes. There "not unreasonable" slopes that my F-250 has fun with ....
