Has two small 8"?? wheels with a chain wrapped around a sprocket on the axle and leading back to a crank handle. You can use it to raise & lower or to crawl along. I'm sure you'd be tired cranking the handle before you got two far. |

Another option if you are not comfortable backing is a couple hundred bucks and put a hitch on the front of your truck... Some say it's easier to drive trailers around, could work... |

Actually, I do back it in but if the street is busy and I don't have the wife watching for pedestrians or stationery objects
it can get a bit tricky. Just looking for a way to make it easier and more enjoyable. |
