Any word on the trailer assist parking?

I thought it was mentioned when they debut the Atlas concept and that was a feature for people like me that has a problem backing up trailers? Any words on this? This would be a great feature to have.

Yeah they don't go into great detail about how it will work, but I Googled 2015 F-150 Trailer Hitch Assist and every article from the reveal date mentions the feature. Just glad that was one thing I gained from my father--he and I can drive backwards better than forwards and my brother can't back up to a trailer worth a d*mn lol

Tip, put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and use the mirrors. Just move your hand the way you want the trailer to go.

The 2015 will have trailer assist. It works through the 360 degree camera setup.

Same here. I learned to drive backing a boat trailer down the ramp at about 13 or 14.

Practical skill that is great to have. I've squeezed my truck into spots it NEVER would've fit, going nose-in. The stares from people when you do that the best
