Honestly. If you are using hill descent. U shouldn't b camping there in ur camper lol. Gonna take a nice spot to get it level. Anyways. Hill descent is not designed for that. Only for the truck. I'm sure it would work. But if something happins? That's when ford will say. It's not for that lol. But do I have anything in writing that states that? No. Sorry pal. Just my opinion only. With that and 2 cents. U got. 2 cents lol. Welcome to the forum. Post up some pics of your truck

5Star tuned.....

that is a good question. i would imagine it'd be fine if you have electric brakes on your trailer. but i would really like to hear from someone who knows what theyre talking about lol

You can only go 5 mph with hill decent control.

Look at the kid comin through with the answer!!! Good job young man.

maybe it's time to find a hill and try it might even need to test 4wd with the locker I know I would every now and then.

Thanks for all feed backs. I'll try it with electric brake which I never thought of. I doubt I'll go camping till after winter as I live near Smoky Mt. 👍🏻
