    Default Breakaway cable & stock reciever

    First of all, I mispelled "receiver" in the title! And I'm not sure what auto correct did with the "&amp" thing. I didn't catch that until I posted. But anyway, I came across this and thought it was worth sharing. To cut through all the reading/popup ads, it's about NOT hooking your breakaway cable for trailer brakes to the same place you hook your safety chains. In some rare cases, the entire factory receiver AND the safety chain mounts have simply broken off of trucks. In that case, there is no secondary means to stop the trailer from going where it wants. They suggest hooking the breakaway clip to some other point on your vehicle that is not connected to the receiver or hitch. The link below has some photos of this happening to someone. Luckily no harm was done as it didn't happen while on the road.
