New to backin up a trailer

For those that may have reservation on backing up a trailer this may dispel some of those concerns.

Great video! But standard disclaimer #3 should apply: "Do not try this at home."

By the way, Standard Disclaimers #1-#2 are:
1 - Your mileage may vary.
2 - Some assembly required.

#5, I think, right after #4, "Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental."

With the diesel emissions testing scandal still unresolved, is showing us how they can cheat at backing up a trailer really the message that VW thinks they ought to be putting out there right now?

Hey not the first time for some showmanship and at least they gave you the behind the scene look at how they did it.

Or do you like the mustang commercial where the Rock commands Lets grease this car better? Bet it don't even have a zerk fitting, anywhere.

Love Volkswagen commercials, but since they quit making the original beetle, I'm no longer interested in ever owning one. The TDI debacle is not helping....
