I have it on my ford f150 also. Works great until the jack blocks the target(at the worse moment)from the tailgate camera. I'm guessing the engineers never towed a vehicle with the power jack on itErmm Novel gimmick but I have had it fail as I turn more times than I count. If I'm going to be turning as I back I turn it off. Going in a straight line it works good.

It really does. We have practiced in several area parking lots. Actually feel a lot more confident backing now.

Very cool. I've been wondering if it really works as advertised.   Enjoy.

 Wait until some great coder sees this and translates it into an app for a cell phone. All they would need is a couple of Bluetooth enabled sensors to stick on the tow vehicle and trailer.

They'll make millions.
