A good mirror setup shows traffic beside the trailer and gives you a useful view toward its rear corners. A quick reset - set mirrors after hitching, then minimize the blind zone - turned it back into a good story instead of a long afternoon. ---

A good mirror setup shows traffic beside the trailer and gives you a useful view toward its rear corners. A quick reset - set mirrors after hitching, then minimize the blind zone - turned it back into a good story instead of a long afternoon. Great reminder! Setting the mirrors properly after hitching can make towing much safer and easier. 👍
