Today I set up the trailer on the new truck to get the electronics set up. First, the pro trailer backup assist is overrated. I ended up doing it the old fashioned way when we got back home. When you are blocking the road backing into the driveway, there isn’t much time for this:
Press the assist button
Select which trailer (though only one is entered)
Wait for the camera to find the sticker
Put it in reverse and turn the knob
I do like the way the truck records the miles driven with the trailer, and the graphic display showing the trailer brakes when applied.
For those more experienced, does the relationship angles between the truck and trailer look right? Keep in mind that the driveway is gently sloped and steeper under where the middle of the truck is. I drove it to a nearby level School parking lot to set up the WD hitch.
