What happens here
With the hitch receiver in place, slowly back the tow vehicle to align the hitch ball with the trailer's coupler. Once aligned, use the trailer's jack to precisely lower the coupler onto the hitch ball. Engage the coupler's locking mechanism and insert its safety pin. Next, cross the safety chains underneath the trailer tongue and attach them to the truck's safety chain hooks; this creates a safety cradle. Finally, connect the trailer's electrical umbilical cord to the truck's electrical port to ensure proper function of trailer lights and brakes.
Goal: Securely hitch the trailer to the tow vehicle for transport.
