DESKTOP INVENTORY

Find the vehicle. Check the details.

Trail Buddy offers card and detailed list views in Chrome. Check the saved source date, vehicle facts, price and photos before preparing a listing.

Each source is reviewed for compatibility. Supported sources check automatically while their paired desktop or approved server connection is available. If a check fails, LotTrail shows the last complete read and its date.

LISTING CONTROLS

Make the listing yours.

Review the generated description, reorder vehicle photos and choose whether to add contact branding. Review every detail before saving a draft or explicitly approving publication. A prepared form is separate from a confirmed saved draft or published listing. Uncertain results pause for review.

PHONE HANDOFF

Choose on your phone. Review on your phone.

Choose up to ten vehicles in LotTrail and keep the phone page open until they are sent. Your paired Trail Buddy in desktop Chrome works on one vehicle at a time to save drafts or handle approved publication requests while Chrome stays open with the intended Facebook account. Keep LotTrail open while selections are prepared; return to the saved review if interrupted.

Choose saved drafts or explicitly approve publication after reviewing the exact car, price, photos and text. Return to LotTrail to check each result. For a confirmed draft, review and publish it in Facebook. For an approved publication request, check Queue & results and the matching Facebook listing. Check uncertain results in Facebook before another request.
