Re: [A/S] Truck Pushing Sensation



My normal routine before the Hensley was both hands on the wheel, one eye on
the road and one eye on the rear view mirror. When I saw a truck coming up
behind me I just gripped the wheel that much tighter and held on for the
pushing and shoving as the truck went by. I had a good hitch, adjusted
properly with sway control, it just did not do the trick.

Now with the Hensley, about the only way I know a truck is going by is when
they block out the sun as they pass. I just wave at them and smile.

Its an expensive option granted, but you won't know how much difference it
can make until you try it. Ditto, on the backing up with the Hensley, its
just an added bonus.
