So easy it’s stupid. #truck #trailer #shorts
What happens here
Instead of attaching to the safety chain loops, the 'Tow Tether' device (which typically comes with its own small cable) is installed directly onto the vehicle's frame. This installation usually involves wrapping the Tow Tether's cable around a robust part of the truck's frame and securing it with the bolt mechanism. Once the Tow Tether is independently secured to the vehicle's frame, the trailer's breakaway cable is then attached to the loop created by the Tow Tether's cable. This provides a dedicated, independent attachment point, ensuring the breakaway system functions as intended even if the main hitch fails.
Goal: Learn the correct and safe method for securing a trailer's breakaway cable using the Tow Tether device.
