Back It Up Easy Manoeuvring
Back It Up Easy Manoeuvring with the 2017 Super Duty Trailer Reverse Guidance takes the guess work out of steering. Ford first introduced a Pro Trailer Backup assist system in the Ford F-150 and is now offering heavy-duty trailer-towing technology for the F-series Super Duty line of trucks.  Reverse guidance provides multiple views of the truck and trailer utilizing some of the seven cameras as seen below.
The two side-view cameras are mounted in the mirrors, along with the tailgate camera and an additional camera that can be custom placed on the back of the trailer improving visibility. Â They all work together to track the trailer direction to alert the driver on the display when the angle between truck and trailer could cause a jack-knife situation. Â As seen below, a camera is also located in the center high-mounted stop light. This gives a view of the truck bed for easy hookup of gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers.
Now watch how easy Trailer Reverse Guidance is for even a beginner trying out the assist system for the first time!
Trailer Reverse Guidance features include:
- Automatic transition between five views when the trailer is setup.
- Top View Overlay providing current trailer angle and projected trailer angle based on steering wheel angle.
- Straight Back-up Mode to provide steering direction and assist with backing up straight.
- Manual transition mode for use with fifth wheel/gooseneck or when trailer set-up process has not been completed.
Note: Trailer Reverse Guidance uses the same trailer set-up process as Pro Trailer Back-up Assist, with the same black-and-white checkerboard sticker and trailer measurements. A Quick Start Guide, Measurement Card and Stickers are provided to the customer if Trailer Reverse Guidance is selected.
