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.]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2017 17:58:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10645&PID=100379#100379 Ford Back-up assist : http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10645&PID=100371#100371 Author: Leo B

It really does. We have practiced in several area parking lots. Actually feel a lot more confident backing now.]]> Mon, 02 Oct 2017 17:07:49 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10645&PID=100341#100341 Ford Back-up assist : Very cool.

 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.

We didn't get either one of those with our F-150. The 360-degree view is something that I sometimes lust after, but not the back-up assist.]]> Sun, 10 Sep 2017 20:10:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10645&PID=99426#99426 Ford Back-up assist : That thing does look cool.. not... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10645&PID=99406#99406 Author: furpod

That thing does look cool.. not available on the super duty yet.. BUT.. I saw the 360 camera in action the other day, and have to say, I wish we had it.]]> Sun, 10 Sep 2017 10:59:47 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10645&PID=99406#99406 Ford Back-up assist : Our new Ford F-150 has the back-up... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10645&PID=99405#99405 Author: Leo B

Our new Ford F-150 has the back-up trailer assist with it. Was out playing with it this morning and love it!!! We hooked up and headed off to a large parking lot and logged the pod into the program, followed the step by step instruction packet and it took probably 10 mins to complete. We then practiced for about 45 mins. picking a spot and backing in, it was really easy and by he end, I cold back in really smooth from any angle and center it right the parking spots with no problem!
I give it an A+. Highly recommend it!!
