boat trailer

Any one with the manual transmission , have you backed a boat in the water , wondering about emergency brake holding ? I had a older f150 with a manual and sometimes it was scary . Thanks

Manual trans on the boat ramp, that is a scary thought.

Heel and toe the brake and gas, but sketchy.

Have a set of wheel chocks at the ready, in someones hand, sanding on the ramp.

I guess i will keep my newer f150 with an automatic

The spec sheet shows that all Bronco models have Auto hold brakes which will help when starting back up the hill. From what I'll heard the electric parking brakes are pretty good.
If you have to leave the drivers seat put the transmission in Crawler and turn the engine off and set the parking brake.

Even with an automatic, I still use wheel chocks on the ramp, cheap insurance.

Those a cute, prefer ones that are capable of stopping a real vehicle.
