To put it in "advertising language"... the Ford Trailer Assist is "supposed to work with either a travel trailer or a fifth wheel, but in ACTUAL USE BY CUSTOMERS (not on a Ford test track) very few (if any) ACTUAL CUSTOMERS have been able to get it to work with a fifth wheel..... That "little box" is a "reflective sticker attached to the trailer nose" and since fifth wheel "under carriage nose" is sloped to reflect down, not up like a travel trailer, the truck camera system has issues "seeing the reflective sticker" and loses sight of a fifth wheel much more often than it loses a travel trailer....
That system has been "talked about and cussed about" more on Ford truck forums than any other system on the new Ford SuperDuty trucks.....
If you buy that option, buy it for "the other features" but don't get your hopes up about positioning the stickers on your trailer and being able to back up better.... AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.....
