How is yours when you start going on a steep hill? Do you get a lurch?
With all my other trucks I just put the truck in 4-low and let off the brake...the truck backs up slowly and it's easy to get in position. I do think it would be better without hill start...I've had a lot of trucks and none had hill assist and every one of them was easier to hitch a trailer to on an incline.
It does let off after awhile but who wants to wait 3 seconds (feels longer than that but could be) everytime you tap your brakes when going under the trailer?
