I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this.
I am posting, here, because I need some expert advice. I cannot find this topic anywhere on the internet.
My upper yard becomes a mud field even with fairly light rain. Thing is, I'm still in the trees with rain, doing my job as a Certified Arborist. Only lightning stops a job.
When I get back home, I need to back my trailer into its space in my upper yard. Before I got 4WD, I flat-out couldn't do that. One attempt taught me that, quickly. I couldn't even head in.
Now, with 4WD on my 2020 Ram 1500 Diesel, I easily can head in BUT when I try to back my trailer into its space, it's like someone is pulling a joke on me. No matter how I turn the steering wheel, the trailer wants to go straight back! I know the differential is taken out of 4WD. I know things are different.
So, experts, should I even try to back up my trailer, in the mud, while in 4WD?
I really appreciate your input, here. Today, I may take my lady's Jeep up there, and try handling the backing up job with that, in 2WD, as she has heavy duty mud tires. Even so, I want to know about backing in a trailer while in 4WD. If it's ill-advised, just let me know.
Thanks!
