As a former trucker just put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and turn it the way you want the trailer to go and then follow the trailer with little corrections keeping it to your left side using your mirrors only. Yes it is that simple!
As a complete moron who shouldn't be hauling marshmallows in a paper bag, I will absolutely remember this forever. That's how I steer my RC cars when they come at me, the bottom of the wheel becomes the "top" and guides the vehicle. So thanks to you, one day I will have the confidence to get a boat and a trailer and f**k up some other folks' afternoons trying out your method! Lol thanks!
Can confirm this works. Never thi7ght id be able to get a 48ft trailer into a garage without smashing one of the cars inside. Now i feel like alot of em can be pretty easy to do.
Brilliant... we need WAY more of these Real American Heroes Shorts!!! SOO much material, ripe and deserving heroes today that NEED to be acknowledged....
100% CORRECT SIR! The best event is July 4th at about 10pm when all the people that have been drinking all day on the lake decide to wrap it up for the day……😅
Lol. I'm that guy! Sat on the dock in Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard, in a 30 foot box truck towing a drive-on car hauler, waiting for my turn to board the Ferry. This particular situation required BACKING onto the Ferry. After sitting there for a minute..white knuckled..the dock hand finally told me to get out and let him do it! Bless this young man!
Good for you, and good for the dock hand too. We all have our strengths, and weaknesses. We can point, and laugh, or we can help each other through the rough spots.
These were so good! I've always loved watching other people trying to back up a trailer, when they have enough trouble driving forward WITHOUT any trailer. Some people will never get it.
"To fit your boat exactly nowhere toward the intended target". Lol. If you've ever lived around this, you really can just sit there all day and entertain yourself. It's equally comical, fascinating, and frustrating. You go through all the emotions. 🤣😲😤
Right? I also remember when companies that wanted me to buy their products made it a mission to make me smile, or laugh, or even just feel good. Now they call me a bigot and a racist. So…..you… know, there’s that. I wonder how many people remember this was actually Bud Light that did this?
Having the wife direct you as the boat backer up guy makes these videos possible. The indecisive flapping of her arms and her yelling when you can’t hear her always makes backing a trail or a lot of fun.
That actually hit home for me. It never fails i start to back up at anything more than a snails pace and my trailer wants to have a mind of it's own. 😂
@@keneticchannel definitely need to know how to use them though cause the window isn’t always available. Most people can’t even back into a parking stall properly with their mirrors it’s embarrassing to witness. The worst trailer experience I’ve had was moving a small compressor trailer a few hr drive from our shop to our worksite. Well the pinto latch on the truck was so worn down it wouldn’t latch properly but I didn’t notice till driving down the highway and hit a decent hump in the road and the trailer came loose and was riding on the safety chains. Well after a few of those the chains were ground through. Some rusty haywire we had fixed that and I realized if I floored it before every bump the trailer would be under to much pulling force to be able to pop up so that’s how I drove for two hours. Fucking trailers.
Fun backing dang short coupled motor cycle type trailer (empty) w a old 79s wide body jacked up w air shocks ride.😂😂😂 couldn't see it until it was jackknifed from anything (mirrors rear window or looking over the shoulders.) 🤔 🤔
Cars with shorter wheel bases are harder at first. Moved half way across the country 3 times with a civic and a uhaul trailer. 1st time wasnt pretty! 😂
@@joelbuyno5500 the only one using His name in vain is you. My use of “omg” is to be read as “ohmigosh”. Have a blessed (that’s two syllables, “bless-ed”, by the way) day!
Every man that has tolled any type of Trailer has been here at the beginning, not gonna lie. My first experience was just like this video. I’m a pro now, but I’ve took a few gates / ploes down learning.😂😂
The Budweiser commercials changed from “real American heroes” to “real men of genius” because all the Muricas were getting offended for the veterans. Thus the caving and changing of the phrase.
Once watched a man back almost 10 people up on the ramp and marina. By the time he picked up, I had already caught a buzz again. Salute to you boat launch guy 🫡
I’ve been backing up long and wide trailers into tight spots for over a decade now. When no one is watching, I always make it in, first time go… but when there’s people watching? Sometimes I just can’t figure my life out 😭😭😭
Isn't that the rub? With an audience, crap never works out... Nobody around for miles? You'll nail it like a pro. That's why I hate being recorded... I trip and fall every time a replay is available.
Man I feel ya. I pride myself on being able to back but just yesterday there was a lady trucker parked next to the spot I had to hit and I had to pull up like 4 or 5 times. Friggin embarrassing lol
Short narrow trailers are far more difficult to back than long wide ones. I used to drive semis no problem, but backing up my single jetski trailer is a pain in the ass. I have to drop my tailgate just to see it when it’s empty.
I worked for a County Parks Dept for 15 years. We had a non-gooseneck 28' heavy equipment trailer for hauling the big side deck mowers to the County mechanics for service/repairs. The three vehicles we used for towing were a Ford F-750 Extended Cab with a 10 yard dump box, a crew cab International Workstar 7400, and a crew cab F-350 with a full 8' bed. We had a pretty snug gravel yard with a steep slope so it was always fun watching the new guys try to either get the trailer out or back it back in too fast or using big wheel movements without hitting a fence or another vehicle or piece of equipment, and then see the incredulous looks on their faces when one of us old timers would go slow and steady and pop that trailer into place with two Toro 580s on it like threading a needle. Just gotta take it a little easier and slower and you waste way less time in the long run.
The lake I live buy there is a bar with outside seating right next boat ramps. Yes we do make bets on people like this. How many times to back the boatup if the woman will get out and guide them back total time to launch or pick up in five minute increments and so on. Lol
Yeah, I learned by taking a wrong driveway. It turned out to be a very narrow gravel road, that was approx. 1 mile long with no turn around. I had a long bed truck, and a very short trailer. I was a pro after that day, with no witnesses to my learning mistakes...LOL
@@timfagan816 why WTF? The description is in the name. Its a trailer that hauls tobacco a cash crop. The trailers are narrow and long used gather the crop at harvest. The wheel base is narrow making it hard to back hence you get that down you can back any trailer. Its ok not to know maybe you didn’t grow up near a farm or maybe you are trolling and thats ok too. Bless your heart. 😂
What happens is most people when they back up the boat they turn the steering wheel to much. If it is a bumber hitch it turns very fast, if it is bigger and it is a fifth wheel hitch it is easier to turn not as quick. I have a CDL A used to do OTR when you have to back up for 1/2 mile without going in the ditch that is still skill
@oldscratch3535 yes you are 💯% correct, a small trailer is harder. The tuning happens way faster and sooner. Thus, focus and less is more. The concept never changes, just the perception, what you see. It's never about what you know, but what you can feel and understand. None the less, I 💯% driven in reverse more miles than most going forward. One out on the road can prove, anyone can drive a semi forward, but not anyone can drive it reverse. 1 million miles accident free is a carrier one has well deserved to be able to claim they are a good driver. Just saying brother, we can't come up with excuses for why we claim we can't do better.
True story. I saw a man picking up his little bass fishing boat out of the marina and he had a crappy old minivan and the minivan couldn't get enough traction to get out of the water. So it started doing burnouts. I will never forget that LOL.
@@moshunit96 When i used to fish with the cuban homies alot of them had ford rangers and the ramps were steep and slippery. We'd just get 2-3 people to stand in the bed and jump up and down to get traction. Works too good
I was a marine mechanic before motorcycles. And it never gets old watching people overthink how to back their trailer in the water. They would then get pissed off when i would launch and load in a 10 minute period while testing a boat out and they would still be attempting to back up lol
Lmao,,,we use to sit at the boat ramp on sunday afternoons drinking beer laughing our butts off watching ppl sunburnt and drunk trying to back up,,,miss those days
How are you that bad? It’s just reverse controls. I got a job in college as a landscape foreman and told them I had truck trailer experience when in fact, I did not and I had to maneuver and back up a 14 foot trailer day one. It wasn’t hard
@@meeklayboost5704 I don't know, I can back up a big rig trailer I can drive a big a** vehicle in small spaces. I can not back up a boat. Just one of those things I suck at but I can admit it. And I'm not gonna waste the entire boat ramps time.
All the people with 5th wheels are getting them out of storage and 'attempting' to back them into their driveways, this time of the year. I really love it when they back them into the water drainage ditches. Country life enjoyment.
I looked like this when I started working in construction as a yard hand, towing compressors and light towers and equipment trailers etc. I was all over the place. Then an operator stopped me, and gave me some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten. “Take one hand, and put it at the bottom of the steering wheel, and use your side mirrors. Which ever direction you want the trailer to go in, that’s the direction you steer in. If you want the trailer to go left, steer to the left [from the bottom of the steering wheel].” When I implemented this trick, the change was *IMMEDIATE AND DRASTIC!* I looked like a pro lol. Now I can back up virtually anything.
I remember when i learned how to back a trailer up.. I was 10 years old and my papaw have me the truck keys and told me to back the hay trailer into the barn, he didn't teach me or tell me what to do. He just sat and watched while he smoked and drank his pop. Took me forever it seemed like. I learned a lot that day that no school or education could teach. Rip papaw
Sitting at the launch ramp and watching people drop their boats is never-ending entertainment. So many people falling off the docks or backing up like this.
Took me more tries then I'd like to admit the first time I had to back up a uhaul trailer down a curved driveway. Feels great when you get it right where you wanted it though. Sold a table to a guy that was a trucker and watched him back in a long flatbed. Made me feel better when it took him a couple tries to get the turn right.
For anyone who needs it here’s my tip. Get the boat as straight as possible and touch the wheel as little as possible. If it starts to turn then turn into the boat. So if the back end starts to go left you turn left. I’ve only launched a boat 5-10 times but I worked for fedex for years and got good at backing up strings of dollys and baggage carts. Essentially 4 trailers all connected together
This reminds me of a very stubborn friend I had. He "knew" everything and didn't want any help or instruction at all. Well he finally got his inheritance and got a boat and new truck. He invited me for a cruise up the St. John's river. At the ramp he looked like a drunk snake trying to go backwards. After fifteen minutes or so he finally succumbed to the dagger stares of those waiting to launch their boats. We switched seats and allowed me to back down the ramp in one try and launch his boat. I actually got a few claps. He later went to a parking lot and practiced.
I used to work off a boat. We would drop into 2 to 4 different lakes a day and dropping the boat in and pulling it out real slick was so much fun! Now I kinda sucked at it at first, but the secret is small movements with your wheel and the longer the trailer the EASIER it is. 22 ft boat trailer? No problem. 12 ft project trailer. GFC!
I've been a truck driver for 19 years. In their defense, short trailers are wild. The longer the trailer the easier it is to back up. Backing up a 53 footer looks easier than backing these sbort trailer because it is easier. When the trailer want's to go where it shouldn't, the driver has all the time in the world to make corrections. And if we overcorrect, we have all the time in the world to "un-overcorrect".
While helping my buddy take his boat to the lake for the first time every, the local pro was there in his triple-cab, extended bed, and lifted F-350 and he had a megaphone mounted under his truck. He was parked facing the boat launch and was probably waiting to load his own boat. As we backed the boat up to launch, the local pro jumped on the megaphone and shouted: *“Y’all look like professionals!”* Now, I don’t think he was being serious, but I am half-decent at backing up a trailer and launching/loading boats. And I don’t even own a boat. 😂 Didn’t jack-knife it and kept the truck in reverse the whole way down to the water too. 👏🏻
As an English guy that went through the hell that is the driving test over there and then moved to the US, this is what I see happening on a daily basis when people do something super simple like trying to parallel park. I made my kids (here in California) learn to drive a manual transmission. Before I would let them take there test they had to be about to do the things that the UK driving test required. Reverse around a corner, parallel park, emergency stop without stalling or locking up (in a car without ABS) and a hill start without rolling back. Without exception they all hated me. Without exception they now love the skills they have.
Reminds of coming off a lake out of Fresno. First, there was a couple in there 70's backing a personal craft on a little trailer with a big cabover camper on their truck down the ramp as I was waiting for my wife to bring our boat trailer. I had to tie our boat to the dock and back their trailer in because they couldn't see it from they're mirrors. Wait, so I went back out into the lake to wait our turn, and someone else else was backing down the ramp and it looked like his foot slipped off the brake and on to the gas pedal and he literally jacked knifed the trailer on the ramp and caused a flat tire. I had to tie off to the dock again and help him get out of the ramp so I could finally get my jeep and trailer and get my boat out of the lake. Then I parked my trailer and hooked up they're trailer and went and pulled they're boat out of the lake. You just can't make this shit up 😂
.....and I thought I was bad for having to pull up three feet every 40th time I try to back the boat in. I don't think I've _ever_ Benny Hill'd myself, let alone with a boat trailer, on a launch... 😂😂😂
😂 Every turn of the wheel is a mystery 😂
I’m pretty good with a trailer…. But I’ll be damned if that ain’t the truth
That's truly funny😂😂😂😂

I listened to this so many times just to go back to the 90’s.
True story. I saw a man picking up his little bass fishing boat out of the marina and he had a crappy old minivan and the minivan couldn't get enough traction to get out of the water. So it started doing burnouts. I will never forget that LOL.
I forgot to mention that the amount of smoke made it impossible to see the van 🤣🤣🤣
I believe it.
@@moshunit96 When i used to fish with the cuban homies alot of them had ford rangers and the ramps were steep and slippery. We'd just get 2-3 people to stand in the bed and jump up and down to get traction. Works too good
I was a marine mechanic before motorcycles. And it never gets old watching people overthink how to back their trailer in the water. They would then get pissed off when i would launch and load in a 10 minute period while testing a boat out and they would still be attempting to back up lol
That was me the first time I backed up my boat 😅
Lmao,,,we use to sit at the boat ramp on sunday afternoons drinking beer laughing our butts off watching ppl sunburnt and drunk trying to back up,,,miss those days
“Believe in yourself”😂
We need more videos like this. The commercials over the radio was and still hilarious.
I’m 13 and I can back in boats it makes me laugh seeing this
Back when Budweiser actually had good commercials 😂 😂 man I miss the '00s
Dude, after 20 years, I still suck at backing up a boat. I'll have a Homie do it or somebody at the dock. I have no shame.
Spend an hour next weekend in an area with no traffic. Just get used to it and it’ll literally be second nature.
You have to make small corrections. Most people screw up by turning too fast / far, which translates to massive swings left or right.
How are you that bad? It’s just reverse controls. I got a job in college as a landscape foreman and told them I had truck trailer experience when in fact, I did not and I had to maneuver and back up a 14 foot trailer day one. It wasn’t hard
Any single axle trailer sucks they just fuck off on the ramp the best thing I found was just sway bars then it dosent want to take off
@@meeklayboost5704 I don't know, I can back up a big rig trailer I can drive a big a** vehicle in small spaces. I can not back up a boat. Just one of those things I suck at but I can admit it. And I'm not gonna waste the entire boat ramps time.
THESE NEVER GET OLD!!!
All the people with 5th wheels are getting them out of storage and 'attempting' to back them into their driveways, this time of the year. I really love it when they back them into the water drainage ditches. Country life enjoyment.
I looked like this when I started working in construction as a yard hand, towing compressors and light towers and equipment trailers etc. I was all over the place. Then an operator stopped me, and gave me some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten.
“Take one hand, and put it at the bottom of the steering wheel, and use your side mirrors. Which ever direction you want the trailer to go in, that’s the direction you steer in. If you want the trailer to go left, steer to the left [from the bottom of the steering wheel].”
When I implemented this trick, the change was *IMMEDIATE AND DRASTIC!* I looked like a pro lol. Now I can back up virtually anything.
Long ago I used to go to Cleveland Muni boat launch with a lawn chair and cooler of beer to watch people attempt this.....best time ever....LOL!
How is this so spot on..... I would be cutting up the catch watching the beauty back up loving it.
😂😂😂😂 this was perfect. If bud light wants to get back on top bring back these commercials
Man I remember those Budweiser commercials. “ Mr loud cell phone talker guy”….. “I’m important!!”
I remember when i learned how to back a trailer up..
I was 10 years old and my papaw have me the truck keys and told me to back the hay trailer into the barn, he didn't teach me or tell me what to do. He just sat and watched while he smoked and drank his pop. Took me forever it seemed like. I learned a lot that day that no school or education could teach. Rip papaw
I miss these amazing commercials!!! Good work!
Thanks.
🤣😂
Who needs comedians when you can just sit and watch a boat ramp on a holiday weekend
Thank you, Uncle Sam..... Jan '87- Aug '91 active duty U.S. Army taught me.
Man I absolutely loved and miss these commercials 😢
Sitting at the launch ramp and watching people drop their boats is never-ending entertainment. So many people falling off the docks or backing up like this.
Took me more tries then I'd like to admit the first time I had to back up a uhaul trailer down a curved driveway. Feels great when you get it right where you wanted it though.
Sold a table to a guy that was a trucker and watched him back in a long flatbed. Made me feel better when it took him a couple tries to get the turn right.
For anyone who needs it here’s my tip. Get the boat as straight as possible and touch the wheel as little as possible. If it starts to turn then turn into the boat. So if the back end starts to go left you turn left. I’ve only launched a boat 5-10 times but I worked for fedex for years and got good at backing up strings of dollys and baggage carts. Essentially 4 trailers all connected together
I learned how to back up a trailer from some of the best. I've done maneuvers people said we're impossible.
This reminds me of a very stubborn friend I had. He "knew" everything and didn't want any help or instruction at all. Well he finally got his inheritance and got a boat and new truck. He invited me for a cruise up the St. John's river. At the ramp he looked like a drunk snake trying to go backwards. After fifteen minutes or so he finally succumbed to the dagger stares of those waiting to launch their boats. We switched seats and allowed me to back down the ramp in one try and launch his boat. I actually got a few claps. He later went to a parking lot and practiced.
I love boat ramp day, there's always that one guy 😂😂😂
I used to work off a boat. We would drop into 2 to 4 different lakes a day and dropping the boat in and pulling it out real slick was so much fun! Now I kinda sucked at it at first, but the secret is small movements with your wheel and the longer the trailer the EASIER it is. 22 ft boat trailer? No problem. 12 ft project trailer. GFC!
Gawd!!! I feel them, lol. I still remember how stupid I looked and felt until the "light-bulb" moment kicked in when reversing my trailer 😅
I've been a truck driver for 19 years. In their defense, short trailers are wild. The longer the trailer the easier it is to back up. Backing up a 53 footer looks easier than backing these sbort trailer because it is easier. When the trailer want's to go where it shouldn't, the driver has all the time in the world to make corrections. And if we overcorrect, we have all the time in the world to "un-overcorrect".
Watching them trying to dock a boat on a windy day can be a hoot as well. 😂😂😂
While helping my buddy take his boat to the lake for the first time every, the local pro was there in his triple-cab, extended bed, and lifted F-350 and he had a megaphone mounted under his truck. He was parked facing the boat launch and was probably waiting to load his own boat.
As we backed the boat up to launch, the local pro jumped on the megaphone and shouted:
*“Y’all look like professionals!”*
Now, I don’t think he was being serious, but I am half-decent at backing up a trailer and launching/loading boats. And I don’t even own a boat. 😂
Didn’t jack-knife it and kept the truck in reverse the whole way down to the water too. 👏🏻
I don't even drink beer but i loved these commercials! 😅
The chaos of a Saturday afternoon is your stage 😂
I miss those commercials 😢 thank you for the nostalgia
The "I don't think so" with the damn truck being hauled in the air by the boat was great Mr. editing skills on the computer guy
As an English guy that went through the hell that is the driving test over there and then moved to the US, this is what I see happening on a daily basis when people do something super simple like trying to parallel park.
I made my kids (here in California) learn to drive a manual transmission. Before I would let them take there test they had to be about to do the things that the UK driving test required. Reverse around a corner, parallel park, emergency stop without stalling or locking up (in a car without ABS) and a hill start without rolling back.
Without exception they all hated me.
Without exception they now love the skills they have.
It's the entertaining that just keeps on giving.
P.S.
Thanks, dad, for teaching me how to back up with a trailer before I could even drive a car.
On occasion I will go down by the boat launch and sit there for half the day just to have a good laugh
I don't miss Tv... but I do miss these commercials 😂😂😂😂
Didn't know boat ramps could be this much fun. I'm going to go to one on a weekend just to watch. 😅
honestly im subbing for this dudes voice seriously it sounds so nostalgic for some reason idk y
pack a cooler full of beer, grab some buddies and lawn chairs, and head down to the pier. S tier entertainment
This may have been the funniest short I’ve seen. This filled my gloomy night shift job with some much needed laughter. THANKS! 👏 😆
I've never understood how backing a trailer is difficult, but fuck this is hilarious 🤣🤣
It’s always a super fancy truck and/or boat, a boat armor plated in dock bumpers, a pontoon, or someone in a SUV.
Not as easy as it looks when you first do it! LOL
Took me 15 minutes to park my camper it in my driveway . Now I do it in 1 minute! 💪🏿
Reminds of coming off a lake out of Fresno. First, there was a couple in there 70's backing a personal craft on a little trailer with a big cabover camper on their truck down the ramp as I was waiting for my wife to bring our boat trailer. I had to tie our boat to the dock and back their trailer in because they couldn't see it from they're mirrors. Wait, so I went back out into the lake to wait our turn, and someone else else was backing down the ramp and it looked like his foot slipped off the brake and on to the gas pedal and he literally jacked knifed the trailer on the ramp and caused a flat tire. I had to tie off to the dock again and help him get out of the ramp so I could finally get my jeep and trailer and get my boat out of the lake. Then I parked my trailer and hooked up they're trailer and went and pulled they're boat out of the lake. You just can't make this shit up 😂
Great video. It must have taken hours to capture all of that great boat backing footage. And the audio, classic.
.....and I thought I was bad for having to pull up three feet every 40th time I try to back the boat in. I don't think I've _ever_ Benny Hill'd myself, let alone with a boat trailer, on a launch... 😂😂😂
