What happens here

The video introduces a small, metallic, threaded bolt-like device with a slot, part of the 'Tow Tether' safety cable system. This device's primary function is to serve as an independent anchoring point for a trailer's breakaway cable. This is crucial because it ensures the breakaway system activates even if the main hitch or safety chains become detached from the tow vehicle.

Goal: Familiarize yourself with the 'Tow Tether' device, which is designed to provide a secure and independent attachment point for a trailer's breakaway cable.

All right, Neil, what are we looking at with this? Now, what we have is the tow tether safety cable. And instead of attaching your breakaway cable on your trailer to your chain location, what the toe tether does, it gives you an independent secure location that's attached to the truck frame. Um, and so a lot of guys will try to attach
