Just set mine up on my 2016 and watching this now I know I can't make 90 turns in a small area (city street to my drive way) but now knowing that I need to let go of the know when the trailer is pointed where I want it helps a ton.

I don't tow big rigs but I do tow a lot with my F350. I don't use the feature much but sometimes when I'm pulling in my yard late at nightand I need to zigzag through all the other trailers and equipment it does come in handy. this feature could help pros in certain situations as well as inexperienced people have confidence when backing up a trailer. The system really does work. Thanks for watching the video

Thanks for your video. I can't believe all the stupid comments. Probably the same people that thought computers were a passing fad. I have a 2020 f250 and an Airstream. I have tried repeatedly to set this up and have watched i think every video ever published including on the Airstream forum. Will not work for me. I see the 2021 f150's come with a mechanical set up vs. a sticker. i assume that works better and is the reason Ford went to that. have spoken to Colonial Airstream and Airstream Tampa (two largest Airstream dealers) and both seem to indicate clients have had problems setting this up with the sticker. Glad you were able to set it up.

I added a stealth module which boosted the mid range power and a pedal monster to take away pedal lag. The thing is a monster. I did a full JL Audio stereo too. I run her super hard though all day.

Hmmm... I'm not convinced that I need it on the truck that I'll be ordering soon. Since I've been able to backup a trailer practically since I was born, is it worth the extra $1655? I'll watch a few more videos before I decide. I'd be more inclined to get it if it included a remote camera that I could attach to the back of the trailer so I can see the small animals and children that I'm about to run over. I already have one of those that works well. It is an aftermarket camera.

Part of the package is you can wire an external camera. Plus I think you get all the other camera views as part of the package. I really use this feature to be honest it's more of a novelty. I have used it a few times pulling in my yard by tonight trying to maneuver around all the different trucks and trailers.

Got a question I can’t seem to find an answer to. After setup, when you’re getting ready to use it, do you have to be straight when you activate it? Often I don’t start backing from a completely straight position and I don’t know if the PTBA gets confused when it detects the sticker if I’m not straight.
@Tuckgcinc
@Tuckgcinc 2 жыл бұрын
I believe everything you said is correct and it has to recognize the sensor to be able to start the process. I honestly don't use mine that much but I do recall one time and told me to straighten out before I would recognize it
@lelandplume6889
@lelandplume6889 2 жыл бұрын
@@Tuckgcinc thanks for the quick response. But see, that’s the deal. It doesn’t have to be completely straight to find the sticker. I often swing in front of a campsite to get a better angle for backing. In those cases I’m not completely straight when I start backing. And when the PTBA senses the sticker and engages, is the system out of whack because I wasn’t straight? Or, since it was straight when I calibrated it, does it compensate for the longer or shorter distance between the camera and sticker due to it not being straight when I turned it on? It seems like a logical question that should have been addressed by Ford somewhere. But damned if I can find it.

Not only is the propane tank cover a possible issue, so is the emergency trailer brake cable (ours is mounted on the driver's side of the AS). I've scoured forums and haven't found anything yet.

Most people who drive a diesel can back up a trailer. I started at 6 years old with tractors in the field. I can put a trailer anywhere. Driver's aids are just that. They help the driver. Lane departure, pedestrian avoidance, blind spot monitoring, self-driving, all help the driver. You still need to know how to drive. These aids make it safer and easier. I am a pro at backing up the trailer, but sometimes late at night coming into the yard, doing back and forth 90 deg turns, around 20 other trucks and trailers, this tool helps. But I am sure someone as amazing as you would never benefit from a decent truck or car with some added safety features.

@@tuckhd709 All these "safety features" do is make shitty drivers more confident. I back up 42', 48', and 53' trailers all day long (tankers, dry vans, intermodal containers, and reefers), and I have never needed back up cameras, or any of these "safety features." This is exactly why a CDL should be required to pull a trailer, and I don't care if it is just a 10' flatbed. Edit: The yard I run doesn't have a lot of room either. Some of the spots are really tight, even for a yard truck.

Its a good feature for rookies or pros. I can back up a trailer as good as anyone. I tow daily for my job. I back up without this feature 95% of the time. But at my construction yard, when I come in late at night in the dark, and trucks and trailers are everywhere, and I have to sign zag through it all, this helps. It can be useful for anyone. The set up isn't bad. I can do it in about 3 mins. It took longer for the video because I was showing everything. Give it a try you might find it comes in handy in certain situations. For long distance back ups it really shines. You don't have to consistently make corrections. The truck does it for you. And you can go a lot faster.

This truck doesn't have a built in ass wipe, but it does have a built in bidet. There is a little hole in the leather and out slides a rigid hose. It's not too practical though. You have to slide your pants off to even use it. First time I tried it the thing inserted inside my ass about 7 in and I had a flashback to that one time I was locked up. The whole system definitely needs some working. Do not attempt using the system without reading the instructions first. I was going to put up a tutorial like this one for the system but my wife would let me.
