Don't know what it's called but it's a vee shaped metal plate that guides trailer onto hitch ball. The back bumper on my new truck has a lot of plastic so I can't use the brail method. Crew cab with Tonneau cover.......I SEE NOTHING

Bought a GPS backup camera combo will sell cheap

Yes thats the type of thing. How well do they work and do they restrict your turns?

it shouldn't restrict turning, since the cheater bar is removable

i use some DuraSafe trailer gear that i picked up at the Madison Fishing Expo a couple years ago. works awesome.

the "coupler connect" guides you onto a blind trailer nicely, and the "coupler protect" security piece works well. i especially like the locks that customize to your truck key so you don't have to carry any more keys on your ring.

I use that unit and it works well and you just remove the top piece when you are done hooking up. It makes it alot faster and safer for your vehicle when you are alone.

I go out alone most times, so I used to kill the bumper on my car.
When I bought a new car and got another boat I had see what cabellas, I LOVE IT.
I also use the little yellow balls on the magnets and I can see them threw the tint on my SUV. Between the two I have never made one single mark on my car. When it used to be everytime I hoked up I got a new mark 75% of the time.

Do it to it......
